Low Back Pain Treatment in Tumut, NSW | Bowles Health Chiropractic & Physiotherapy

What is Low Back Pain?

Low back pain is a common condition affecting up to 85% of people at some point in their lives. At Bowles Health, your trusted chiropractor and physiotherapist in Tumut, NSW, we understand the impact of low back pain on your daily life.

Low back pain can arise from a variety of causes such as age-related changes, arthritis, or muscle strains. It’s important to distinguish between:

  • Acute low back pain: Pain lasting less than 3 months.

  • Persistent (chronic) low back pain: Pain that lasts longer than 3 months and requires targeted treatment.

Causes of Low Back Pain

Low back pain can result from multiple factors, including:

  • Injury or trauma, such as muscle strains or sprains.

  • Lifestyle factors, like a sedentary lifestyle common in office workers.

  • Psychological and social factors, including stress, fear of movement, and emotional wellbeing.

At Bowles Health, our Tumut-based practitioners take a holistic approach, recognising that both physical and lifestyle factors contribute to your pain.

Prognosis of Low Back Pain

Fortunately, 70-80% of people recover from low back pain without long-term problems. However, a small percentage develop persistent low back pain that can be disabling if left untreated.

Early intervention from an experienced chiropractor or physiotherapist in Tumut can help prevent chronic pain and improve your quality of life.
