5 Ways to Relieve Lower Back Pain Without Surgery

Lower back pain is the leading cause of missed workdays in New Zealand. Before you consider invasive options, try these non-surgical solutions available at our East Auckland clinic.

1. Chiropractic Adjustments Stuck joints, bones and slipped discs can pinch nerves, causing sharp pain. A specific adjustment can realign the spine, instantly relieving pressure on the nervous system and help you move freely with less pain.

2. Deep Tissue Massage Often, back pain is caused by tight hip flexors or glutes pulling on the pelvis. Our massage therapists target these deep layers to release the tension that "locks up" your lower back.

3. Core Strengthening Pain relief is temporary if your muscles are weak. A weak core forces your spine to take the load. Our physio team focuses on "active rehab" to build a natural back brace of muscle.

4. Ergonomic Correction Are you sitting for 8 hours a day? We assess your posture. Simple changes, like raising your monitor or changing your chair, can stop micro-trauma to the lumbar spine.

5. Stay Active Rest is often the enemy. Gentle movement promotes blood flow and healing.
