Our Approach to Back Pain Treatment in Exeter

 

At Innate Health Chiropractic, back pain treatment begins with a thorough assessment of posture, movement, and spinal function. We use advanced tools such as 3D posture analysis to help identify imbalances that may be contributing to pain.

Care plans are personalised to the individual, whether you are dealing with work-related back pain, activity-related strain, or recurring flare-ups.

Common Causes of Back Pain

Back pain often develops due to a combination of physical stress and reduced movement rather than a single incident. Common contributing factors include:

Understanding what is driving your pain is a key step in choosing the right approach to care.

Whether you are suffering from pain or stiffness in the back, we have the expertise and tools to get you back on track by providing exceptional tailored chiropractic care.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Back Pain

Chiropractic care focuses on improving how the spine moves and functions, rather than simply masking symptoms. By addressing joint restriction, muscle tension, and mechanical stress, chiropractic care for back pain in Exeter can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support long-term spinal health.

Where does your back pain come from?

Back pain most commonly relates to issues in the lower back and pelvic area, but it may also be associated with other conditions such as:

Sciatica

Leg pain or groin pain

Muscle spasm, tightness and tension

Postural imbalance or changes to the curvature of the spine (such as scoliosis)

Hip, knee or ankle problems

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction

Disc problems such as bulging, disc hernia or prolapse

Slipped disc

Whilst back pain tends to focus on the one area, you would be surprised how it can affect other areas of the body, from the longest nerve muscles to spine pains, the legs and neck pain.

Types of Back Pain We Commonly See

What is causing my back pain?

Most cases of back pain are classified as ‘mechanical’ and are the result of accumulated stress on the spine. Most commonly we see lower back problems associated with long periods of sitting (such as office workers), because sitting involves more loading in the spine. This over time leads to compression of the joints and discs, accumulation of muscle tension, and postural changes or imbalance.

Back pain can also result from sprains or strains to the soft tissues, improper or overloaded movement such as lifting, and as a consequence of ‘wear and tear’ (age-related or trauma-related degeneration).

Fortunately, most causes of lower back pain aren’t medically serious, but if there are any concerns, we will refer you to your GP for further investigation.

Ensuring that you are fit and active is important for your spine. Contrary to popular belief, bed rest is not advised for most back pain cases. Indeed strengthening and stretching your spine with exercise is shown to help in many cases of back pain

This can include yoga, pilates, core stability and strengthening exercises, as well as more general fitness like walking, cycling, gardening and sports.
