Our Approach to Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is the leading cause of disability worldwide and affects the majority of adults at some point in their lives. At Pro Health Clinic, assessment of lower back pain goes beyond symptom location — your chiropractor or physiotherapist will identify the specific structures involved, the contributing movement and lifestyle factors, and the appropriate treatment approach for your presentation.

Treatment for lower back pain at Pro Health Clinic combines hands-on manual therapy, targeted exercise rehabilitation, and education about your condition. The evidence strongly supports active management — exercise and movement — over passive rest, and our practitioners will guide you through a structured plan that progressively restores your strength, mobility, and confidence in movement.

What We Treat

  • Mechanical lower back pain and stiffness
  • Lumbar disc injuries and disc-related sciatica
  • Facet joint irritation and lumbar spondylosis
  • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
  • Post-surgical lumbar rehabilitation
  • Chronic lower back pain and deconditioning

What to Expect at Your First Appointment

Your initial lower back pain assessment includes a full history, neurological screening, movement assessment, and hands-on examination of the lumbar spine and surrounding structures. Your practitioner will explain their findings, provide an initial treatment, and give you a clear plan for recovery — including what you can and cannot do in the short term.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Pro Health Clinic from Dulwich Hill?

Pro Health Clinic is approximately 2.8km from Dulwich Hill — an 8-minute drive via Old Canterbury Road, or accessible via the L2 Light Rail with a short walk or bus connection to Ashfield.

Do you treat Dulwich Hill patients?

Yes — we see patients from Dulwich Hill for chiropractic, physiotherapy, antenatal care, and sports injury management. Dulwich Hill is close to our Ashfield clinic and well within our service area.

How long will it take to recover from lower back pain near Dulwich Hill?

Recovery time depends on the type and severity of your injury. Most acute mechanical lower back pain improves significantly within 4-8 weeks with appropriate treatment. Disc injuries and chronic conditions take longer. Your practitioner will give you a realistic timeline and clear milestones at your first appointment.

Should I rest or keep moving with lower back pain near Dulwich Hill?

The evidence strongly supports staying active within your pain limits rather than prolonged bed rest. Complete rest is rarely the right approach and can slow recovery. Your practitioner will advise on what activities are safe and beneficial for your specific presentation.

When should I see a doctor for lower back pain near Dulwich Hill?

You should seek urgent medical assessment if your lower back pain is accompanied by loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive leg weakness, or pain that wakes you at night and doesn't improve with position change. For most presentations, a chiropractor or physiotherapist is the appropriate first point of contact.
