Back and Neck Pain

Lower back pain commonly results from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, or disc irritation affecting spinal mechanics. Multiple factors in your daily life can put stress on your spine, causing a build-up of tension that can end up causing low back pain

• Poor posture
• Repetitive lifting
• Prolonged sitting

Chiropractic care can help manage chronic back pain by improving joint mobility and nervous system function.

• Evidence-based spinal manipulation
• Exercise and posture advice

Neck pain often arises from postural strain, poor workstation ergonomics, or stress-related muscle tension. In this era, looking at phones and laptops puts cumulative strain on the structures in and around your neck.

• Desk work
• Phone use
• Driving

The number of sessions depends on the condition’s severity and duration. Your Chiropractor will discuss with you the factors influencing your treatment plan and strategies to maximise healing and results.

• Acute pain: 3–6 visits
• Chronic pain: longer-term management

Chiropractic care may help manage symptoms associated with disc bulges by reducing joint stress and muscle guarding. Campbelltown Chiropractic Centre has a brand new state of the art MT Core spine Decompression machine, only 1 of 2 in Sydney! The most advanced non-surgical option for disc decompression available. This machine directly treats the disc bulge by allowing space in your spine to help your disc return to its normal position.

• Non-surgical approach
• Co-managed with imaging when needed

Mechanical back pain originates from joints, muscles, or discs rather than systemic disease. This is often caused by physical stress on your spine.

• Most common back pain type
• Often activity-related

Yes, prolonged poor posture alters spinal loading and muscle balance. Poor posture puts abnormal strain on a specific region of your spine, which can over time cause pain and dysfunction.

• Common in office workers
• Correctable with care

Remaining gently active is usually recommended to promote recovery. Bed rest is never recommended for musculoskeletal conditions. Your body is made to move, meaning trying to resume regular activities within your limits is recommended for recovery.

• Avoid prolonged bed rest
• Guided movement preferred

Chiropractic may relieve pressure on irritated nerves through joint mobilisation. Our Decompression table can help take disc pressure off nerve roots. While regular Chiropractic techniques can help pinched nerves in other areas of the body.

• Sciatica common example
• Individual assessment required

Early care is recommended if pain persists beyond a few days or affects daily activities. Pain is not the start of joint dysfunction, meaning your condition is often there before pain starts. Having check ups promotes a healthy spine and helps avoid painful conditions in the future.

• Prevents chronicity
• Faster recovery
