Back Pain Treatment in Stow-on-the-Wold & The Cotswolds
Understanding & Treating Back Pain for Lasting Relief
Up to 70% of people experience back pain in their lifetime – but you don’t have to live with it.
Back pain is one of the most common health concerns worldwide, affecting people of all ages. The World Health Organisation reports that up to 70% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. It can develop due to poor posture, age-related degeneration, injuries, or muscle strain from daily activities.
The pain may arise from different structures in your back, including spinal discs, muscles, joints, or nerves, leading to discomfort and restricted movement. Left untreated, back pain can affect your daily life, limiting mobility and reducing overall well-being.
Common Symptoms of Back Pain
Dull, aching pain – often worse in the morning and improves with movement.
Sharp pain – felt during specific movements like bending, twisting, or lifting.
Morning stiffness – difficulty moving after waking up.
Radiating pain – discomfort that spreads to the groin, hips, or legs.
Reduced flexibility – difficulty standing upright, walking, or performing daily tasks.

Everything You Need to Know About Back Pain & Chiropractic Care
Struggling with back pain? You’re not alone. Below, we answer the most common questions about back pain, its causes, and how chiropractic care can help you find relief.
What causes back pain?
Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture, muscle strain, injuries, degenerative conditions, and lifestyle habits. Long hours of sitting, improper lifting, and a lack of movement can put strain on your spine and muscles. Other causes include herniated discs, arthritis, spinal misalignment, and nerve compression. Chiropractic care helps identify and address the root cause of your pain to provide long-term relief.
How can chiropractic care help with back pain?
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment and reducing pressure on the nerves, muscles, and joints. Techniques like spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and mobility exercises improve movement, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing. Chiropractors also provide posture advice, ergonomic corrections, and strengthening exercises to prevent future pain.
When should I seek treatment for back pain?
If your back pain lasts longer than two weeks, worsens over time, or affects your ability to move, sleep, or perform daily activities, it’s time to seek professional care. Warning signs such as pain radiating to the legs, numbness, weakness, or loss of bladder/bowel control may indicate a more serious condition that requires immediate attention.
Is chiropractic treatment safe for back pain?
Yes! Chiropractic care is a safe, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to managing back pain. Chiropractors are highly trained professionals who use precise, controlled techniques tailored to your individual needs. Adjustments are gentle and effective, helping to relieve pain without the risks associated with surgery or medication.
What can I expect during my first chiropractic visit?
Your first visit will include a comprehensive consultation, where your chiropractor will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and conduct tests to diagnose the cause of your pain. A personalized treatment plan will be created, and in most cases, your first treatment session will take place on the same day. You’ll also receive advice on posture, lifestyle changes, and exercises to support your recovery.
Can chiropractic care prevent future back pain?
Absolutely! Regular chiropractic adjustments, along with strengthening exercises, improved posture, and ergonomic changes, can help maintain spinal health and reduce the risk of future pain. Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain relief—it’s about optimizing your movement, flexibility, and overall well-being for long-term health.
