Does this sound familiar?

  • “It came out of nowhere”
  • “It’s not going away this time”
  • “It keeps coming back”
  • “I don’t want to rely on painkillers”

If so, you’re in the right place.

Back pain is extremely common, but that doesn’t mean it should be ignored.

What causes back pain?

Back pain is rarely caused by just one thing.

It’s often a combination of:

  • Poor movement patterns
  • Joint stiffness or irritation
  • Muscle imbalances
  • Previous injuries
  • Lifestyle factors (sitting, stress, training load)

👉 It’s often how your body moves over time, not just one incident READ MORE

Common diagnoses we see:

  • Lower back pain
  • Disc irritation, bulge or herniation / “slipped disc”
  • Muscle strain
  • Facet joint pain
  • Sciatica

Why your back pain isn’t improving

You might have:

  • Rested it
  • Tried stretches
  • Had temporary relief

But if the root cause isn’t addressed, it keeps coming back.

👉 That’s exactly why we focus on:

ASSESSMENT → DIAGNOSIS → TREATMENT → RESULTS

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fastest way to relieve back pain?

The fastest way to relieve back pain is to identify the cause and treat it appropriately.

For some people, this may involve:

  • Hands-on treatment to reduce joint restriction
  • Targeted exercises to improve movement
  • Reducing muscle tension

While rest can help in the short term, staying active and getting the right treatment is usually the quickest way to recover.

👉 Book an assessment to get a clear diagnosis and treatment plan.

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

This is one of the most common questions we get.

The honest answer is that it depends on the cause of your pain.

At The Health Hub, we offer:

  • Physiotherapy → for rehab, strength and long-term recovery
  • Chiropractic → for joint-related pain and mobility issues
  • Osteopathy → for a whole-body approach to movement and pain

👉 You don’t need to choose; we guide you to the right treatment from your first appointment.

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.

Common causes include:

  • Muscle strain
  • Joint irritation
  • 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
  • Tingling or numbness
  • Weakness in the leg

At The Health Hub, treatment options include:

We tailor treatment to your specific condition.

Do I need a scan (MRI or X-ray) for back pain?

In most cases, scans are not needed.

A thorough clinical assessment is usually enough to diagnose and treat back pain effectively.

Scans are typically only recommended if:

  • Symptoms are severe or unusual
  • Progress isn’t being made
  • There are specific clinical concerns
Why does my back pain keep coming back?

Recurring back pain usually means the root cause hasn’t been addressed.

This could be due to:

  • Movement patterns
  • Weakness or imbalance
  • Lifestyle factors

👉 Our goal is to fix the cause, not just manage symptoms.

Can poor posture cause back pain?

Yes, but not in the way most people think.

It’s not just about “sitting up straight” it’s about:

  • How long you stay in one position
  • How well your body moves
  • How strong and adaptable you are
Is back pain common?

Yes, back pain is one of the most common conditions we see.

The good news is that most cases respond very well to the right treatment.

When should I book an appointment for back pain?

You should book an appointment if:

  • Pain has lasted more than a few days
  • It’s affecting your daily life
  • It keeps coming back
  • You want a clear diagnosis

After suffering with back pain for 7 months that all disappeared after two sessions with Sam. Sam puts you at ease and explains everything all the way through. Having been sceptical before the experience I am certainly not now and couldn’t recommend highly enough.

Billy Wheatley

I have been using The Health Hub regularly for a long time now, mainly Tina for sports massage, her knowledge and massage is outstanding. I have also used Sam and Georgie who are also excellent at what they do. I would not go anywhere else.

Wayne Stroud

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Jodie and her team at the Health Hub in Haywards Heath recently. From the moment I stepped inside I was greeted by Sam on reception who was very welcoming and helpful. Jodie was fantastic and made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I have another appointment again soon and cant recommend the Health Hub enough, really superb. Thank you

Wendy Earl

Jodie and the team at The Health Hub have been amazing!! So knowledgeable, I never thought that I would love acupuncture & physio so much, they have helped so much in managing my pain and recovery from a hip replacement, plus the girls on reception are all so welcoming, its a really nice place to go to, I can’t recommend it enough.
