Most people get back pain at some time. A survey in 2004 found that at any one time in the UK, 33% of the population are suffering with back pain and up to 80% of the adult population will suffer significant back pain at some time in their life.

Therefore it's not surprising that here at Skelian Chiropractic Clinic low back pain makes up a major portion of the conditions we help. Back pain can range from a simple strain that recovers quickly to a severe disc injury causing nerve damage.

Many low back injuries result from repetitive daily activities such as bending, lifting or twisting. Some may also result from an accident or sports injury. Poor posture can also be a culprit. Your chiropractor will assess your spine and ask you questions about the factors responsible for your condition. Your treatment will include life-style advice designed to help you avoid further problems.
