The Real Story Behind Back Pain

Back pain is one of the most common health complaints in Australia, affecting up to 80% of adults at some point in their lives. While painkillers or short-term fixes may bring temporary relief, they rarely solve the underlying issue. At My Health Chiro, our approach focuses on understanding the cause — whether it’s posture, misalignment, or muscle imbalance — to help you move freely and live pain-free.

Why Does Back Pain Occur?

Most back pain isn’t caused by a single incident but develops gradually due to repetitive stress or poor biomechanics. Common causes include:

• Prolonged sitting: Weakens the core and shortens hip flexors.

• Poor posture: Places extra strain on spinal joints and discs.

• Muscle imbalances: Create uneven tension that pulls the spine out of alignment.

• Sudden lifting or twisting: Can lead to muscle strain or joint injury.

Chiropractic Care: Going Beyond Pain Relief

Chiropractic treatment isn’t just about cracking backs. It’s a holistic system that aims to restore spinal alignment and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
At My Health Chiro, we use a combination of:

• Manual adjustments to correct spinal misalignments.

• Soft tissue therapy to relieve muscle tension.

• Rehabilitation exercises to strengthen the back and core.

• Lifestyle advice to prevent re-injury.

The Long-Term Benefits

Consistent chiropractic care can lead to improved posture, better mobility, reduced muscle tension, and fewer flare-ups. Patients often notice improvements in energy and sleep as well.
