Back pain - a growing public health concern

Back pain comes in many forms. The most common is chronic back pain. 1 in 6 Australians are experiencing the physical and psychological effects of chronic back pain. Of the estimated 3.7 million people suffering from chronic back problems, many are also likely to suffer from poor quality of life and are unable to engage in an active and healthy life.

Chiropractic is a viable option for the treatment of chronic back pain, so if you’re looking for a chronic back pain specialist in Maribyrnong or South Melbourne, My Health Chiro could provide the relief you’ve been searching for. 

Around 70-90% of Australians will suffer from lower back pain at one point of their lives. It’s no surprise that it is fast becoming a major public health concern. In fact, the burden of low back pain is ranked as No.1 in Australia and 6th in the world.

Our approach

Chronic back pain responds exceptionally well to chiropractic treatment. We first assess to see where the source of pain is stemming from before creating a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific situation. My Health Chiro has a team of experienced back pain specialists that you can consult with at both our Maribyrnong and South Melbourne clinics. 

Chiropractic adjustments improve the function of nerves that supply to the muscles, ligaments and surrounding tissues. By firstly improving this, we can restore function to your muscles and relieve them of the need to spasm. We can also then allow your brain to better control and regulate the area while it is moving to prevent further re-injury and allow the site of injury to remain stable while it is healing. This alone is shown to speed up healing times as well as prevent further episodes from occurring.

We also provide you with strategies to improve the repair process. This includes a diet modification plan to reduce inflammation and improve tissue repair, an exercise program to help stabilise and strengthen the area, as well as strategies to better adapt your work and play conditions to prevent relapses and improve healing time.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most back pain comes from a musculoskeletal problem in which your spine is directly responsible. However, there are instances when back pain isn’t related to a musculoskeletal issue and could be a referral of pain from elsewhere. Your chiropractor is qualified to assess your body and make a determinant of what the source is. If you are not the in the right place, we won’t waste your time and money and will get you to the chronic back pain specialist who can help the best.

Causes Of Back Pain

Our spines are designed to be flexible, strong and durable. It’s the core of how we move and tackle life. Back pain can be caused be lifestyle stresses such as poor posture, inactivity, repetitive work strains or awkward positions. It can also occur due to trauma such as car accidents, falls, childhood slips and falls, or workplace accidents.

These injuries affect the original design for our spines and results in spines that don’t move properly, and have injury and inflammation. Left uncorrected, they can progressively get worse even in the absence of pain. Your best bet is to find a back pain specialist in Melbourne as soon as possible to prevent further injury.

Andre is one of the best practitioners I’ve ever seen. He is so knowledgeable and full of empathy. The amount of times I’ve cried walking into our sessions because of my health is ridiculous. But each time, he has held space for me and assisted me to work through it. When I first came to see him, I struggled so much with neurological fatigue every single day due to a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. He explained our treatment plan so clearly, stage by stage (and still continues to keep me educated to this day). With his treatments, my fatigue got less and less. And my capacity grew more and more. I look forward to our sessions weekly and couldn’t recommend his services highly enough. He is a fantastic chiropractor, with an endless wealth of knowledge and compassion.
