Lower back pain affects millions of people every year and is one of the leading causes of reduced mobility, missed work and ongoing discomfort.

Whether you're experiencing pain after long hours at work, commuting, exercise or everyday activities, understanding what's causing your symptoms can help you take the right steps toward recovery.

If you're looking for a Burswood chiropractor, early assessment and management may help prevent minor symptoms from becoming long-term problems.

At Burswood Health, our chiropractors provide evidence-informed care aimed at reducing pain, improving movement and supporting long-term spinal health.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

The lower back contains many structures that can become irritated or injured.

Prolonged Sitting

Long periods spent sitting at a desk, driving or commuting can place additional stress on the lumbar spine.

Muscle Strains

Everyday activities such as lifting, carrying, bending or household tasks can sometimes overload the muscles and ligaments supporting the lower back.

Disc-Related Pain

Spinal discs help absorb force through the spine. Injury or irritation may result in pain, stiffness and reduced movement.

Joint Restrictions

Restricted movement within spinal joints can contribute to discomfort and reduced flexibility.

Degenerative Changes

Normal age-related changes may contribute to stiffness and reduced spinal mobility over time.

Symptoms Associated with Lower Back Pain

Common symptoms include:

• Localised lower back pain
• Stiffness when getting out of bed
• Pain after prolonged sitting
