Lower Back Pain Treatment in Wandsworth
Lower back pain is the most common problem we see, and the one most people have already tried to fix on their own. A few stretches, some painkillers, maybe a massage that helped for a day or two. Then it comes back.
If that sounds familiar, the problem is not you. It is that nobody has worked out what is actually causing it yet.
At Heal Therapy & Rehab in Wandsworth, lower back pain treatment starts with a proper hour long assessment. Your history, how you move, where you are strong and where you are not, and what your days actually look like. Then we treat what we find, and give you a clear plan to get it settled and keep it settled.
What is actually causing your back pain
Lower back pain is rarely one thing. Most cases we see come down to a mix of:
The reason generic back advice often fails is that it ignores your particular combination. The assessment is where we find yours.
How we treat it
Most people feel meaningfully better within the first 2 to 3 sessions and finish their plan within 6 to 12, depending on how long it has been going on. You will get an honest timeline at your first visit.
When back pain needs more than treatment
Most lower back pain is not dangerous and responds well to the right treatment. But some signs need urgent medical attention rather than a clinic appointment, and we screen for them at every assessment. If your case is one that needs a scan or onward referral, we will tell you clearly and point you the right way
