Common Symptoms of Back Pain
Back pain can present in several different ways. Some of the most common symptoms we see include:
- Pain when bending forward or lifting
- Stiffness when getting out of bed
- Pain when sitting or driving for longer periods
- Pain during gym training or sport
- Difficulty standing up straight
- Pain spreading into the buttock or leg, sometimes called sciatica
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, a physiotherapy assessment can help determine the cause and guide treatment.
Common Causes of Back Pain We Treat
Back pain can develop gradually or after a specific movement or activity. Some of the most common causes we see include:
- Lifting or bending injuries
- Prolonged sitting or desk work
- Gym or weightlifting injuries
- Sports injuries
- Sudden increases in training load
- Flare ups of previous back pain
- Disc or nerve irritation such as sciatica
Back pain rarely has a single cause. Our assessment identifies the key factors contributing to your pain so treatment can be targeted and effective.
