Ongoing Low Back Pain
Support for persistent or recurring lower back pain in West Leederville and Gwelup
Low back pain is the most common musculoskeletal condition worldwide. Around 8 in 10 Australians will experience back pain at some point and for many, it can significantly impact day-to-day function, work, activity, and overall quality of life.
What causes low back pain?
Pain in the lower back can arise from a range of structures and contributing factors. Common contributors include:
Intervertebral discs
Ligaments
Nerves (for example, sciatica)
Muscles
Spinal joints
Stress
Poor sleep
Outdated beliefs about back pain
Inefficient movement patterns
Previous experiences with back pain

Back pain is often multifactorial. Identifying the combination of physical, lifestyle and behavioural factors influencing your symptoms is key to achieving longer-term improvement.
