Types of Back Pain:
Back pain may come from a variety of causes, from minor mishaps to long-term strain. Here are some of the most common types we treat at Thrive Chiropractic:
-
-
- Low Back Pain— A common complaint caused by sitting too much, poor posture, or injuries. Low back pain often leads to stiffness and limited movement, impacting everyday activities like bending or lifting
- Spondylolisthesis— Spondylolisthesis happens when one vertebra slips over another, causing instability and discomfort. It may result from degenerative changes or trauma
- Disc Injuries— Problems like bulging or herniated discs may pinch nerves, causing pain that might radiate to your legs. Left untreated, these injuries may worsen over time
- Coccyx Pain— Pain in your tailbone may come from falls, sitting for long periods, or even childbirth. It’s often overlooked but has the potential to significantly affect comfort
- Scoliosis— This abnormal spinal curve may lead to pain, functional challenges, and even breathing difficulties in severe cases
- Posture-Related Pain— Poor alignment and forward head posture may cause fatigue and persistent discomfort, especially with today’s screen-heavy lifestyles. However, even small changes in posture may make a big difference over time.
-
These problems often develop gradually, even if they feel like they appeared overnight. Whether you’re dealing with a recent issue or a chronic condition, we’re here to help you feel better and move more freely. By identifying the root causes, we aim to address the true source of your discomfort and help you get back on your feet.

Your Back Pain Treatment Melbourne Questions Answered
There’s no one set answer as to how many sessions you’ll need, as every patient is different. After your initial assessment, we’ll provide a tailored treatment plan, including the expected number of sessions. Some people may notice improvements within a few visits, while others require longer care for chronic conditions. Our goal is to get you feeling better as quickly as possible.
Chiropractic care has the potential to address postural concerns. We address the potential underlying causes of poor posture and provide exercises to support better alignment. Improved posture often leads to reduced pain and better overall function, so if you spend long hours at a desk or experience postural strain, our care may make a significant difference.
Severe pain may signal an underlying issue. Our thorough assessments help us identify the cause and create a plan to address it. We’re here to help you feel better, no matter the severity of your discomfort. Severe cases often benefit from a combination of adjustments, soft tissue therapy, pain management, and lifestyle advice.
If you have any additional symptoms such as weakness or tingling, you may also benefit from seeing your GP who may be able to organise blood tests or other testing to rule out certain conditions.
While some cases of mild back pain may resolve over time, persistent or recurring pain often requires professional attention and management. Addressing the root cause with chiropractic care may help with prevention of future episodes and to improve your overall health.
Lumbar spine pain refers to discomfort in the lower back region, often caused by conditions such as degenerative disc disease, facet joint pain, or sacroiliac joint dysfunction. Our care includes manual therapy, adjustments, and soft tissue therapy aimed towards providing pain relief and improved mobility.
Severe back pain often stems from issues like disc injuries, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, or muscle spasms. We conduct a physical examination to determine the likely cause and create a personalised pain management plan, which may include adjustments, rehabilitation exercises, physical therapy, and trigger point therapy.
Radiating pain is often linked to conditions like sciatica or nerve compression in the lumbar spine. Our treatments focus on relieving nerve pressure, reducing inflammation, and improving overall spinal alignment in an effort to alleviate symptoms.
Regular physical activity, combined with chiropractic care, may help to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and reduce the risk of chronic pain. At Thrive Chiropractic, we provide guidance on exercises tailored to your condition and rehabilitation needs.
