Low Back Pain Treatment in Mandurah
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek chiropractic care. At Flex Health Professionals in Mandurah, our chiropractors provide safe, evidence‑based treatment to relieve pain, restore movement, and help you return to the activities you enjoy. Whether your pain is new, recurring, or long‑standing, we’ll work with you to uncover the cause and guide you through recovery.
What Causes Low Back Pain?
Low back pain can come from several structures in the spine, including joints, discs, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Common causes include:
- Muscle strain or tightness
- Facet joint irritation
- Disc-related pain or sciatica
- Posture or desk-related strain
- Repetitive lifting or bending
- Reduced core or hip strength
- Stress-related muscle tension
- Age‑related changes
Most cases of low back pain are mechanical, meaning they relate to how the spine and surrounding muscles move — and respond well to conservative care.
Symptoms You May Experience
Low back pain can present in different ways, including:
- Sharp or aching pain in the lower back
- Pain that spreads into the hips or buttock
- Muscle tightness or spasms
- Difficulty bending, lifting, or sitting
- Pain after long periods of standing or driving
- Stiffness first thing in the morning
- Pain that improves with movement
If your pain travels down the leg, you may be experiencing sciatica — we treat this too.
