Back Pain

Back pain has a cause. We take the time to find it.

A full assessment of posture, movement, and history — before any treatment plan is recommended.

Overview

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment — and one of the most commonly mistreated, because the visible symptom often isn't where the actual problem originates. Prolonged sitting, old injuries, muscle imbalance, disc-related issues, and postural compensation can all present as back pain, and each requires a different approach.

At HealEdge, we don't treat 'back pain' as a single diagnosis. We assess your specific presentation — how it started, what makes it better or worse, your posture and movement patterns — before recommending a plan.

Who It's For

Is this the right care for you?

  • Working professionals with pain linked to prolonged sitting or desk posture
  • Patients with recurring or chronic lower back pain
  • Those experiencing back pain following an injury or lifting incident
  • Patients with disc-related concerns (under appropriate clinical guidance)
  • Anyone whose back pain has not resolved with rest or previous treatment
  • Post-surgical patients recovering from spinal procedures

Symptoms We Address

Signs it may be time for an assessment

Persistent lower or upper back pain
Pain that worsens with sitting, standing, or specific movements
Stiffness or reduced flexibility in the back
Pain radiating into the hips, glutes, or legs
Muscle spasm or tightness across the back
Pain following a specific injury or lifting incident

How Treatment Works

What to expect, step by step

1

Full Assessment

We review your pain history, posture, movement, and lifestyle factors — including how you sit, sleep, and move throughout your day.

2

Identifying the Root Cause

Rather than treating the pain location alone, we assess for underlying contributors: postural load, muscle imbalance, joint restriction, or movement compensation.

3

Personalized Treatment Plan

Combining manual therapy, targeted exercise, and — where appropriate — osteopathic assessment for broader compensation patterns.

4

Movement Re-Education

Guidance on posture, ergonomics, and movement habits that may be contributing to the pain.

5

Long-Term Prevention

Once pain has reduced, we build a maintenance plan to lower the likelihood of recurrence.

Benefits

What proper treatment can offer

Treatment based on your actual cause of pain, not a generic protocol
Reduced pain and improved function through targeted, evidence-based care
Practical guidance for preventing recurrence in daily life and work
Combined physiotherapy and osteopathy input for complex or long-standing cases
Clear, honest timelines — no promises of instant or permanent resolution

Our Approach

Back pain rarely improves with a single technique repeated across every patient. We take the time upfront to understand your specific pattern — because a desk-related postural issue, a disc-related concern, and a lifting injury all require meaningfully different treatment approaches, even though they might feel similar day to day.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is back pain always related to the spine?+
Not always. Back pain can originate from muscles, joints, posture, or referred patterns from elsewhere in the body — which is why a full assessment matters more than assuming the cause.
How quickly will I feel improvement?+
This varies significantly by cause and severity. We'll give you a realistic expectation after your assessment rather than a generic promise.
Should I rest completely if my back hurts?+
Not usually — prolonged rest can sometimes prolong recovery. We'll advise what movement is safe and helpful for your specific case.
Do you treat disc-related back pain?+
Yes, within appropriate clinical scope. Severe or specific disc pathology may also warrant coordination with a physician or specialist, which we'll advise if relevant.
