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 to Expect at Your First Appointment

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.
