BACK PAIN TREATMENT

Understanding Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints and can affect every part of daily life – from work and sleep to exercise and mobility.

Whether your symptoms began suddenly or have gradually developed over time, back pain is often linked to how the joints, muscles, discs and nerves of the spine are functioning together.

At Pure Chiro Clinic, we focus on understanding not just where your pain is located, but why it may be happening in the first place.

Back pain doesn’t always shout – sometimes it whispers as stiffness, aches, or discomfort that slowly takes over your day. If it’s affecting how you work, move, or sleep, you’re not alone – and you don’t have to put up with it.

“Even after my first treatment, I could feel the difference.

Luke put me at ease from the very first assessment, and the warm, friendly welcome from the lovely reception team, Erica and Karen, made the experience even better. Throughout my initial course of treatment, I have noticed steady improvements — far less tension in my shoulders, increased mobility in my neck, and reduced pain in my lower back. I’ve been so impressed that I recommended my husband, who is now also receiving treatment.
Luke is an extremely accomplished chiropractor, and quickly gets to the root of the issue, before working through a treatment plan that works best for you. His clinical practice and manner is faultless. He spends time explaining what has gone wrong, how the treatment works and most of all, listens to you. He takes an interest in your thoughts and takes the time to engage with you fully. A mention also for Karen and Erica on reception, who are friendly and helpful, and make you very welcome. I've had great results on my back pain from his treatment, I've regained a range of movement lost for over 15 years. The clinic is easy to find and there's typically plenty of parking. For public transport users, it's right on the bus route for the 43 bus between Chesterfield and Sheffield and the service is pretty reliable. For those considering chiropractic, I couldn't recommend PureChiro highly enough.
I have really good experiences every time I come. My lower back pain is now under control and the team are amazing. They are incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, as well as being very kind and friendly. Would definitely recommend!!
I have had a really positive experience with pureChiro clinic. From the moment I walked in, the staff were welcoming, professional, and made me feel at ease. Luke took the time to listen carefully to my concerns, explain what was going on, and walk me through the treatment plan in a way that was easy to understand. The treatment itself was effective and tailored to my needs. What stood out most was the holistic approach—he didn’t just focus on quick fixes but also gave helpful advice on posture, exercises, and lifestyle changes to support long-term recovery. The clinic is clean, well-organized, and runs on time, which I really appreciated. Overall, I felt confident in the quality of care and I would definitely recommend this practice to anyone dealing with back/hip or neck pain.
I have had 8 sessions now and will be coming regularly for my lower back pain and posture, the service has been amazing, very friendly and caring staff, Luke is very knowledgeable and experienced, after the first few session I felt much better, highly recommend!!!

Back Pain Treatment FAQs

Here are some answers to common questions we get asked..

What is the most common cause of back pain?

Back pain can develop for many reasons, including poor posture, prolonged sitting, heavy lifting, muscle strain, sports injuries and changes affecting the joints or discs of the spine. In many cases, symptoms are caused by a combination of factors rather than a single event.

Can a chiropractor help with back pain?

Chiropractors assess the spine, joints, muscles and nervous system to identify factors that may be contributing to back pain. Treatment aims to improve movement, reduce mechanical stress and support better overall spinal function.

Should I see a chiropractor for lower back pain?

Many people choose to see a chiropractor when lower back pain begins affecting their work, sleep, exercise or daily activities. A thorough assessment can help identify possible causes of your symptoms and determine whether chiropractic care may be appropriate.

How do I know if my back pain is serious?

While most episodes of back pain are not serious, persistent symptoms, worsening pain, significant weakness, numbness or changes affecting bladder or bowel function should always be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.

What causes lower back pain when sitting?

Lower back pain when sitting may be influenced by posture, prolonged periods of inactivity, muscle tension, joint restriction or irritation affecting structures within the lower back. Spending long hours at a desk can often contribute to symptoms.

Can poor posture cause back pain?

Yes. Poor posture can increase stress on the muscles, joints and ligaments of the spine. Over time, this may contribute to stiffness, tension and ongoing discomfort throughout the back and neck.

How long does back pain usually last?

Recovery varies depending on the cause of the problem, how long symptoms have been present and individual lifestyle factors. Some episodes improve within a few weeks, while others may require longer-term management and rehabilitation.

Can back pain cause leg pain?

Yes. In some cases, irritation affecting structures in the lower back may contribute to symptoms travelling into the buttock, hip or leg. Conditions such as sciatica can sometimes cause pain, tingling or numbness in the lower limb.

Is walking good for back pain?

For many people, gentle movement and walking can help maintain mobility and reduce stiffness. However, the most appropriate activity depends on the underlying cause of your symptoms and individual circumstances.

When should I seek treatment for back pain?

If your back pain is persistent, recurring, worsening or affecting your ability to work, sleep or enjoy daily activities, it may be beneficial to seek a professional assessment.

“Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care, but the cause isn’t always as straightforward as it seems.”
