Understanding Your Back Pain
Back Pain Doesn't Have to Be Your Normal
Back pain is one of the most common health conditions in the UK, affecting an estimated 619 million people worldwide at any given time. It can show up as a dull ache that won't shift, a sharp catch when you bend, or a deep stiffness that gets worse the longer you sit.
Whether your pain started after an injury, crept in gradually from years of desk work, or flares up without warning — it's your body telling you something needs attention. The good news? In most cases, it can be helped without drugs or surgery.
At Chiropractor Norwich on Colman Road, we specialise in finding the underlying cause of your back pain and addressing it at the source. That's the difference between chasing symptoms and building real, lasting recovery.
⚡
Lower Back Pain
The most common type of back pain. Often caused by muscle strain, poor posture, or spinal joint stress. Can range from a persistent dull ache to sudden sharp pain that stops you in your tracks.
🔥
Upper and Mid-Back Pain
Frequently linked to prolonged sitting, rounded shoulders, and tension through the thoracic spine. Often presents as tightness, burning, or aching between the shoulder blades.
💫
Chronic and Recurring Back Pain
Pain lasting more than 12 weeks, or pain that keeps coming back. This usually signals an underlying issue that hasn't been properly addressed — not something you should learn to live with.
🔌
Back Pain with Nerve Symptoms
Shooting pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs or arms. May indicate nerve irritation such as sciatica and requires professional assessment.
