Symptoms
You don’t need a diagnosis to book. If any of these sound familiar, we can help.
A dull ache after sitting
Worse at your desk or in the car, eases when you move.
Sharp pain when you bend or lift
Often a strained joint or muscle guarding.
Pain running into one leg
Sciatica: a nerve in the lower back is irritated.
Stiff first thing in the morning
Loosens over the day but comes back.
Pins and needles in the leg or foot
Usually improves as the nerve settles.
Pain that keeps coming back
A sign to fix the cause, not just the flare-up.

How we treat it
Most back plans combine two or three of these — chosen after your exam.
01
Gentle adjustments
Precise, low-force adjustments to free stiff spinal joints. No cracking you don’t want.
02
Soft-tissue therapy
Release for the tight muscles guarding the sore area.
03
Rehab exercise
Two or three moves you’ll actually keep doing at home.
04
Posture coaching
Small changes to how you sit, lift and sleep.
