Lower Back Pain Treatment

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment.

It can develop suddenly after lifting, build up over time or be linked to changes in the joints, muscles or discs of the spine.

At Remedium Wellness, we identify the cause of your symptoms and create a personalised treatment plan to relieve pain, improve movement and help prevent future flare-ups.

Types of lower Back Pain

Lower back pain can develop for many different reasons.  It may be caused by problems with the muscles, joints, discs or nerves, and symptoms can range from mild stiffness to pain that affects your daily activities. 

During your assessment, we’ll identify the cause of your symptoms and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Most people experience non-specific lower back pain, meaning there isn’t one clear cause for their symptoms. Pain can also be acute (sudden onset) after lifting or an injury, or chronic, lasting for more than 12 weeks.

Common symptoms:

  • A dull ache or stiffness in the lower back
  • Pain when bending or lifting
  • Muscle tightness
  • Reduced movement
  • Pain that comes and goes

Sciatica develops when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated or compressed. This may be caused by nerve root compression (lumbar radiculopathy) or a disc problem, leading to pain that travels from the lower back into the buttock and leg.

Common symptoms:

  • Sharp or shooting pain down the leg
  • Tingling or pins and needles
  • Numbness
  • Muscle weakness
  • Pain when sitting or walking

The discs between the bones of your spine act as cushions and shock absorbers. Conditions such as a lumbar disc herniation (slipped disc), bulging disc or degenerative disc disease can cause lower back pain and, in some cases, irritate nearby nerves.

Common signs:

  • Lower back pain
  • Pain when bending or sitting
  • Stiffness
  • Pain spreading into the buttock or leg
  • Tingling or numbness

Pain can also come from the joints that help your lower back move. Facet joint pain (facet joint syndrome), sacroiliac joint dysfunction and lumbar instability can all affect how your spine functions and lead to ongoing discomfort.

Common symptoms:

  • Pain on one side of the lower back
  • Stiffness after resting
  • Pain when twisting or changing position
  • Reduced flexibility
  • Pain with standing or walking

The muscles and ligaments that support your lower back can become overstretched or injured through lifting, sport or repetitive movements. This includes lumbar muscle strains, lumbar ligament sprains and piriformis syndrome, where the piriformis muscle irritates the sciatic nerve.

Common symptoms:

  • Localised lower back pain
  • Muscle spasms or tightness
  • Tenderness
  • Pain during movement
  • Difficulty carrying out everyday activities
