Back pain is a major health concern in Australia with close to 3.5 million Australians suffering from this condition. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose, treat, and manage the treatment of patients with low back pain disorders. They also work with other healthcare professionals, where needed, to address chronic back pain.

At Glen Iris Chiropractic (GIC) we help with back pain chiropractic treatment and lifestyle advice. For chronic back problems, chiropractors use a variety of non-surgical treatments such as Spinal Manipulative Therapy (SMT). This can be administered in a wide range of methods.  As with any treatment approach, your chiropractor will work with you to evaluate if this method can bring relief for your symptoms.

It can be hard to identify the cause of chronic back pain, especially in the absence of an injury or medical condition. However, a sedentary lifestyle and poor posture can be factors in your condition. Staying active is important for spinal mobility and health. Chiropractors can advise on self-management of chronic back pain symptoms, suggesting exercise and lifestyle modifications to bring you relief.
