Back pain

Back pain typically occurs after physical exertion, awkward movements, or exposure to cold. It often gets worse with certain movements or positions but improves with rest, massage, or heat. The pain can restrict how well you move.

Most people have nonspecific back pain, meaning there are no serious underlying causes like infections, injuries, inflammation, tumors, osteoporosis, arthritis, or nerve problems.

We offer several treatment options, including gentle exercises, clinical pilates, massage, physiotherapy and osteopathy. Our clinic also provides manual therapy and advanced non-invasive treatments like medical laser and shockwave therapy.

Once you've decided on a treatment, you're welcome to schedule an appointment at our clinic.
