Back pain is the most common injury for people today, and can often be quite debilitating, preventing you from working, interrupting your sleep and stopping you from doing the things you love. Low back pain can occur for a variety of reasons. It can be sudden and acute or can become a chronic ache that hangs around, keeping you afraid that each time you move might be the start of the next bout of pain.
Some common signs of low back pain include:
- Pain on one side of the back
- Pain in a “band” across the back
- Pain running down into your legs or bottom
- Pins and needles or numbness into your legs, even down to your feet and toes
- Intense grabbing pain and spasm when doing certain movements
- A sense of needing to keep your back perfectly still from fear of pain
… as well as countless other symptoms. Your back can be assessed and addressed by one of the experienced independent Physiotherapists and Chiropractors operating at Active Back Care – Castle Hill.
