What Does Back Pain Feel Like?

Back pain can feel different from person to person. You might experience:

• A dull ache across your lower back
• Sharp or uncomfortable sensations when bending, lifting or twisting
• Discomfort around your lower back or buttocks
• Stiffness after sitting or when getting up in the morning
• Restricted movement
• Symptoms that change depending on your activity or position

Back pain can develop gradually or appear following a particular movement, activity or change in your routine. Sometimes there is an obvious reason for it, while at other times there isn't.

What Can Cause Back Pain?

There isn't always one simple cause of back pain. Muscles, joints, ligaments and other tissues around the back can all be involved.

Your symptoms may also be associated with everyday factors such as:

• Sitting or working at a computer for long periods
• Physical or manual work
• Repetitive movements
• Lifting and carrying
• Changes in activity or exercise
• Sporting activities
• Muscle tension and stiffness
• Previous episodes of back pain

That's why an individual assessment is important. Your chiropractor will consider your symptoms, health history and lifestyle before discussing your care options.

Back Pain & Symptons Travelling Into The Leg

Some people experience back pain alongside discomfort, tingling or other sensations travelling into the buttock or leg.

Sciatica is one possible cause of pain travelling from the lower back into the leg, although there are other possible explanations too.

Tell your chiropractor if you're experiencing any symptoms in your leg. They'll take these into account during your assessment and advise whether chiropractic care is appropriate.

If symptoms travelling into your leg are your main concern, you can find out more on our Sciatica page.

Sudden, recurring or longer-term back pain

Back pain can be short-lived, recurring or persist for longer periods.

Sudden back pain can sometimes follow bending, twisting, lifting, sport or a change in your usual activity. Longer-term or recurring back pain can be influenced by a combination of factors, including activity levels, work demands, lifestyle and previous episodes of pain.

Many episodes of uncomplicated back pain improve over time. Staying appropriately active and understanding how to manage your symptoms can be an important part of recovery.

We'll help you understand your symptoms and discuss practical options for managing them.

How do our Matlock chiropractors approach back pain?

There isn't one treatment that's right for everyone.

Following your assessment, your chiropractor will explain their findings and discuss the options that may be appropriate for you. Depending on your circumstances, this may include:

• Spinal manipulation where appropriate
• Joint mobilisation
• Soft-tissue techniques
• Movement and rehabilitation exercises
• Stretching and strengthening
• Posture and ergonomic advice
• Advice about everyday activities and exercise

Your care will be tailored to your symptoms, preferences and goals. We'll also discuss realistic expectations and review your progress along the way.

I go to the Kempston branch to see Esther. She is thorough and efficient when she treats me but also is kind and compassionate. I always come away feeling better than when I walked in.

I have been using the so healthy wellness centre for many many years now and having a quality chiropractor available to see each month has helped me to keep playing tennis 🎾, plus doing many others things that I don’t think I’d be able to do if I didn’t have these regular checkups and adjustments. Many thanks
