Common causes of low back pain

  • Muscle or ligament strain from lifting, twisting or a sudden movement
  • Disc problems, including bulging or herniated discs, which can lead to sciatica
  • Stiff or irritated joints in the spine or pelvis
  • Posture and desk strain from long hours sitting
  • Arthritis and age-related changes
  • Car accidents (ICBC claims) and workplace injuries
  • Pregnancy, as your posture and ligaments change

How we treat low back pain

  • Chiropractic care. Adjustments, spinal decompression and soft tissue work to ease pain and restore movement.
  • Physiotherapy. Hands-on treatment, dry needling and IMS, plus a targeted exercise plan.
  • Registered massage therapy to release tight muscles in your back and hips.
  • Acupuncture for pain relief.
  • Kinesiology. A supervised strength program in our rehab space to help stop the pain coming back.
  • Advice you can use. How to sit, lift, sleep and stay active while you recover.

What to expect

  1. Assessment. We ask how the pain started and test your movement, strength and nerves.
  2. A clear plan. You’ll know what’s causing your pain and how long recovery should take.
  3. Treatment and a home program. You’ll leave with hands-on care and a few things to do at home.

When to see a doctor right away

Get urgent medical care if your back pain comes with loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around your groin, fever, unexplained weight loss, or pain after a serious fall or accident.

Back pain FAQs

Should I see a chiropractor or a physiotherapist for back pain?

Both treat back pain well. Book with either one. If you’d benefit from both, they work together here.

Should I use ice or heat?

In the first couple of days, ice can calm a new injury. After that, heat often helps stiff muscles. Use whichever feels better. Read more in our guide to cold vs. heat.

Do I need an X-ray or MRI?

Most back pain doesn’t need imaging. If your assessment suggests you do, we’ll refer you.

Is back pain treatment covered by insurance?

Most extended health plans cover chiropractic, physiotherapy and massage, and we bill most insurers directly. We also bill ICBC directly for car accident injuries.
