Lower Back Pain Treatment Balwyn North

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints, affecting people who sit for long periods as often as those who are highly active. It's usually manageable with the right combination of assessment, treatment, and movement advice.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

- Prolonged sitting, particularly with poor lumbar support
- Muscle strain from lifting or sudden movement
- Reduced mobility in the lower spine and pelvis
- Weakness in the core and stabilising muscles
- Disc-related issues (see our Disc Bulges & Herniations page)
- Pregnancy-related changes (see our Pregnancy page)

Signs & Symptoms

- Aching, tightness, or sharp pain in the lower back
- Stiffness, especially after sitting or first thing in the morning
- Pain that improves with movement but returns with prolonged sitting
- Difficulty bending, twisting, or standing up straight
- In some cases, pain radiating into the buttock or leg
