Treatment

Back pain / Backache
The spine is the main support for our bodies and carries the spinal cord and the body's nervous system. Nerves branch off your spinal cord from between each spinal joint. Therefore, a mechanical dysfunction of the joints can lead to back pain - commonly caused by lifting and carrying incorrectly or by poor posture, leading to restriction of the joints in the spine.

Lumbago
Lumbago is simply another term for backache.

Disc problems / Slipped disc
Slipped disc is a frequently used, but inaccurate term to describe a damaged disc. Discs are the flexible pads that separate one vertebra from another, and when damage occurs they may rupture or protrude causing back or leg pain by pressing onto surrounding structures. This can be treated by manipulation of the joints to reduce pressure on the disc and allow more movement.

Sciatica
Sciatica is caused by irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the base of the spine down the back of the leg to the foot. This is usually caused by irritation due to abnormal mechanics in the joints of the lower spine. It can also be caused by a ruptured or protruding disc in the spine pressing on a nerve. By restoring movement to the spine, functional relief can be gained.

Back pain due to pregnancy
Back pain is common in pregnancy due to the enlarged abdomen which puts great strain on the lower back area. Many women also suffer pain in the low back due to a difficult birth or the increased lifting that is inevitable with young children

Pelvic pain
Pelvic pain is caused by lifting and carrying incorrectly, poor posture or pregnancy and can lead to pain in the low back, buttocks, hips, lower abdomen, groin and thighs. Due to referred pain to the hips or legs, it is commonly mistaken for hip pain or sciatica.

Neck pain
Neck pain commonly occurs due to whiplash injuries, falls, strained muscles, arthritic changes in the spine, poor posture or stress. Neck pain can refer into the shoulders and down the arms and, if there is irritation of the nerves that come from the neck and supply the arms and hands, you may also experience pins and needles, tingling or numbness in these areas.

Shoulder pain
Shoulder pain can be caused by injuries to the muscles or ligaments that surround the shoulder joints or even to the joints themselves. It can also be due to referred pain from the neck.
