Chiropractic for Lower Back Pain in Geelong West

Getting to the Root Cause

While ice packs and over-the-counter medications can alleviate lower back pain for a short time, these conventional approaches don’t address the root cause, and the problem may continue to come back and even worsen. That’s why we recommend our natural approach.

When you come to us with low back pain, we don’t want to guess where the dysfunction is, we want to find out. If clinically indicated, this may include functional motion x-rays as part of your initial consultation. Unlike a standard static x-ray, these capture the spine moving through its range, allowing us to see exactly where movement is restricted rather than just how the bones are positioned. This gives us two things. One, a safe and clear picture of what’s actually happening through your lumbar spine and pelvis. Two, the ability to address the root cause of your low back pain, rather than guessing and hoping it settles on its own.

Once we’ve completed your full assessment across your two visit initial consultation, we build you a customised health strategy report outlining exactly what we recommend doing together to work toward your goals and your results. This includes:

• The evidence based number of visits recommended for your specific case
• Evidence based rehab to support improvement in your low back pain
• Access to our in house workshops to support your lifestyle and overall wellbeing outside the practice
• Regular reviews and retesting throughout your care
• A follow up functional motion x-ray if clinically indicated, to help show the progress your body has made once your initial phase of care is complete
