- Should I see a physio, chiropractor or osteopath for back pain?

- How do I know if my back pain is serious?
-
Most back pain is not serious and improves with the right treatment.
However, you should seek help if:
- Pain is persistent or worsening
- You have pain down the leg (possible sciatica)
- It’s affecting sleep or daily activities
- You’re unsure what caused it
If in doubt, it’s always best to get assessed early.
- How long does back pain take to heal?
-
This depends on the cause.
- Mild back pain → a few days to weeks
- Moderate issues → a few weeks with treatment
- Persistent pain → may require structured rehab
The key factor is not time; it’s whether the underlying cause is addressed.
- Is it better to rest or stay active with back pain?
-
In most cases, it’s better to stay active.
Prolonged rest can actually slow recovery and increase stiffness.
The goal is to:
- Keep moving within comfort
- Avoid aggravating movements
- Follow a structured treatment plan
- What causes lower back pain?
-
Lower back pain is often caused by a combination of factors rather than a single injury.

- Disc issues
- Poor posture or prolonged sitting
- Lack of movement or strength
👉 This is why a proper assessment is essential.
- Can back pain go away on its own?
-
Yes, some episodes of back pain improve on their own.
However, if:
- It keeps coming back
- It’s limiting your activity
- Or it hasn’t improved
Then the underlying issue likely hasn’t been resolved.
- What is sciatica and how is it related to back pain?
-
Sciatica is a type of nerve pain that can start in the lower back and travels down the leg.
Symptoms can include:
- Shooting or burning pain

Scans are typically only recommended if:
