Back Pain Chiropractor in Umina Beach
Back pain can stop you in your tracks — whether it’s a sharp pain that came on suddenly, or a dull ache that’s been building for years. At Chiro Pro we don’t just treat the symptom, we find out what’s actually causing it and fix the problem at the source.
Is This You?
You might be dealing with back pain if you’re experiencing:
- A stiff, aching lower back when you wake up in the morning
- Sharp pain when bending, lifting or twisting
- Discomfort after sitting at a desk for long periods
- Pain that radiates into your buttocks or down your leg
- A back that “goes out” regularly and takes days to recover
What’s Actually Causing Your Back Pain?
Back pain rarely has one single cause. In most cases it’s a combination of things — a joint that’s not moving properly, muscles that are overcompensating, and habits that keep aggravating the problem. Common causes we see at Chiro Pro include:
- Facet joint irritation or dysfunction
- Disc bulges or disc degeneration
- Muscle tension and trigger points
- Sacroiliac joint problems
- Poor posture from prolonged sitting or screen time
- Old injuries that were never fully resolved
The only way to know for sure is a thorough examination — which is exactly where we start.
