Treating the causes of lower back pain

Our skilled chiropractors in Manchester will take time to fully understand the specific type and cause of your back pain and then create a treatment plan of chiropractic treatment and ways that you can help yourself at home between sessions, which may include re-assessing your lifestyle for a holistic approach. Using specialist knowledge to skilfully adjust, your chiropractor will free your stiff joints, relax the tension in the muscles and restore flexibility.

If your back pain leads to sciatica

When the discs between the vertebrae are injured or weakened over time, the nucleus can leak, or prolapse through the outer layer of the fibres of the disc. This in turn can inflame the nerve by compressing it causing inflammation. This may potentially give pain in the leg (sciatica), weakness may follow in related muscles, the leg may feel numb and the patient experience pins and needles. Our experienced chiropractor will diagnose whether the pain felt in the leg is indeed caused by a prolapsed disc, or whether it is referred pain radiating from the back causing ligaments, muscles or joints irritation. By differentiating between the two, your chiropractic care plan will be drawn up accordingly.
