Back pain isn't something that should be ignored, especially if it's impacting your daily life. Whether you experience discomfort while sitting, standing, lying down, or moving around, it’s important to seek treatment early. At Hillsborough Chiropractic Clinic in Sheffield, we provide safe, effective care to ease pain, restore movement, and support long-term recovery.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common health problems, which can affect people of all ages and lifestyles. Long hours at a desk, repetitive movements, or heavy lifting can all place strain on the spine and muscles. Over time, this leads to muscle fatigue, stiffness, exacerbating the strain on our muscles, spine, and ultimately the discs and nerves.
4 out of 5 people will suffer back pain at some point in their life
15% of sufferers experience persistent or chronic pain
Back problems cost the UK economy more than £6 billion annually in lost workdays
At our clinic, we aim to not only treat pain but also identify and address the underlying causes for long-term recovery.
Common Causes of Back Pain
Back pain and sciatica may result from:
-
Poor posture or long periods of sitting
-
Incorrect lifting or carrying of heavy loads
-
Sports injuries or accidents
-
Stress and muscle tension
-
General wear and tear over time
-
Sleeping on unsuitable beds or chairs
-
Pregnancy-related strain
The spine’s flexibility comes from the discs, ligaments, and joints working together. If any of these structures are injured or under stress, it can cause pain, inflammation, or nerve irritation.
Slipped Disc and Sciatica
The discs in your back allow for everyday shock absorption and movement. A so-called “slipped disc” occurs when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes through a weakened area in the tougher outer cartilage. This can cause the disc to bulge (or prolapse), placing pressure on surrounding nerves.
Disc problems may lead to:
-
Severe back pain
-
Pain radiating down the legs (sciatica)
-
Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the feet or legs
If you think you may have a disc problem, our Sheffield chiropractors can assess your condition and recommend tailored treatment to relieve pain and restore mobility.
