BACK PAIN TREATMENT IN HEYBRIDGE, HEDINGHAM & CHELMSFORD

Back pain is one of, if not the, most common conditions seen in the clinic and this is similar in the general population. It is estimated that up to 80% of people will suffer from low back pain at some point in their lifetime and that up to 23% of the world’s population is suffering right now with chronic low back pain. We provide expert back pain treatment at our clinics in Hedingham, Heybridge, and Chelmsford.

This makes for quite grim reading but on a positive note, 90% of low back pain is non-specific. Non-specific low back pain is not related to serious underlying causes and can be quite straightforward to treat using the correct approach and it is our speciality at the clinic.

It is important to be able to identify when back pain may be more serious but also to identify the root cause of the pain. There are many structures in the spine (like vertebrae, discs, ligaments, muscles, nerves) that can cause back pain as well as other structures away from the spine that can also indirectly cause back pain.

The most effective and safe treatment comes from correct diagnosis and management, which is why a thorough medical history and clinical examination is conducted during an initial appointment at our clinic. Appropriate treatment and rehabilitation can then be put in place to achieve freedom from pain!
