If you’re suffering from ongoing discomfort or stiffness, our expert lower back pain treatment in Northamptonshire can help relieve tension and restore movement.
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment, affecting around 8 in 10 adults at some point in their lives. It can range from a dull ache to sharp, stabbing sensations and may come on suddenly or build gradually over time.
There are many possible causes of back pain. Poor posture, long hours sitting at a desk, lifting awkwardly, or sleeping in an unsupportive position can all put strain on the back. Sometimes, pain is linked to underlying issues such as a herniated disc, arthritis, sciatica, or muscle imbalances. Stress and emotional tension can also contribute to persistent back pain by causing muscles to tighten and movement to become restricted.
Back pain can be acute (lasting a few days or weeks) or chronic (lasting longer than three months).
Treatment at Ashgrove Health can help reduce pain, improve movement, and support long-term recovery. Hands-on techniques such as osteopathy or massage aim to ease muscle tension, improve joint function, and encourage better posture. We also offer advice on lifestyle, exercise, and stretches to help prevent future flare-ups.
While most cases of back pain improve with gentle care and self-management, some symptoms should be checked by your GP. These include pain that’s severe or getting worse, numbness or tingling in your legs, difficulty controlling your bladder or bowel, unexplained weight loss, or a fever. If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to advise whether treatment is appropriate or if further investigation is needed.
