Low back pain is one of the most common issues we treat, and it can stem from a wide variety of causes. Sometimes it’s postural – hours of sitting at a desk, slouching, or years of poor movement habits gradually put strain on the spine. Other times, it’s more structural, such as a misaligned pelvis creating a leg length difference and forcing the spine into a compensatory curve. Pregnancy is another significant factor, both during and after. The body undergoes enormous changes to accommodate a growing baby, which often leaves the pelvis and lower back unstable or uncomfortable. Sadly, once the baby is born, follow-up care usually shifts entirely to the child’s development, and mothers are often left to “just get on with it.” This can lead to long-term problems if their spine and pelvis aren’t properly checked.
Many people struggle to find lasting solutions to their back pain because no two cases are the same. Stress, old injuries, repetitive strain, or even tight muscles can all play a part. Yet treatments are often delivered as if every back problem has the same cause, which is rarely the case. Painkillers, basic stretches, or generic exercises might bring short-term relief, but they often don’t target the true root of the problem. If your pelvis is misaligned, your muscles will keep compensating until that alignment is corrected. If your discs are involved, simple stretching won’t remove the pressure they’re under. Without a thorough assessment that looks at how you move, your posture, and even your lifestyle, the pain continues to return. That’s why so many people feel stuck – because they haven’t had their back pain addressed at its source.
The key to overcoming low back pain is personalised, targeted care. With McTimoney chiropractic, we can gently correct misalignments in the spine and pelvis, helping to relieve pressure on the muscles, joints, and nervous system. This gentle method restores balance and stability, making it especially effective during and after pregnancy. For more complex or recurring cases – such as those involving disc problems – we often combine chiropractic with IDD therapy. This non-invasive spinal decompression treatment relieves pressure on damaged discs and encourages healing. Alongside this, we may also recommend rehabilitation exercises, massage, or core strengthening work, depending on the individual. Because every back is different, treatment is always tailored to the person in front of us. That’s what creates lasting results – care that relieves pain, restores movement, and helps people feel strong, balanced, and supported through every stage of life.
