Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints affecting Australians. Whether your symptoms started after a gym session, long hours working at a desk, caring for children, or simply appeared without an obvious cause, lower back pain can significantly impact your quality of life.
If you're looking for a Murdoch chiropractor, understanding the cause of your symptoms is the first step toward effective treatment.
At WA Health Group Murdoch, our chiropractors assess the spine, joints, muscles and nervous system to identify contributing factors and develop personalised treatment plans aimed at reducing pain, improving mobility and helping prevent recurrence.
The lower back is a complex structure made up of vertebrae, discs, joints, muscles, ligaments and nerves. Pain may develop from one or multiple structures.
Many people in Murdoch spend long hours sitting at work or studying. Prolonged sitting can increase pressure on the lumbar spine, contributing to stiffness and discomfort.
Sudden lifting, gardening, home renovations or sporting activities can overload the muscles and ligaments of the lower back.
The spinal discs act as shock absorbers between vertebrae. Disc irritation or injury can lead to localised back pain and, in some cases, nerve-related symptoms.
Reduced movement within the spinal joints can contribute to stiffness, pain and decreased mobility.
Degenerative changes within the spine become more common with age and may contribute to ongoing lower back discomfort.

Chiropractors assess and treat conditions affecting the spine, joints and muscles. Treatment may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, exercise prescription and advice to help manage lower back pain and improve mobility.
Common causes include muscle strains, joint irritation, disc injuries, poor posture, prolonged sitting, lifting injuries and age-related changes in the spine.
The number of visits depends on the cause and severity of your symptoms, your goals and how your body responds to treatment.
