Spinal Works provide chiropractic care in Townsville for those with acute, chronic, and ongoing back pain. Whether it’s lower back pain, a muscle strain, poor spinal alignment, or a condition like sciatica, your path to pain-free living starts with Spinal Works. 

Back pain is extremely common – it’s the number one workplace disability in Australia. According to the clinical evidence handbook, over 70% of people in developed countries suffer from back pain, of which 10% never return to work.

At Spinal Works, we treat lower, mid, and upper back pain. Our back pain chiropractic care is all about providing relief, but also treating the cause of the pain through postural and spinal adjustments. We can provide treatment for issues that are purely spinal and joint-related, as well as back pain caused by severe muscle tension.

Lower back pain can stop you from doing the things you love – but it can also be the source of round-the-clock discomfort which can affect both motivation and mood. Lower back pain can feel like muscle tension, localised pain, or radiating nerve issues like pins and needles. Often the cause of poor posture, workplace injuries, heavy lifting, or a muscle strain, research shows that spinal manipulation is one of the most effective ways to treating lower back pain. Regardless of the cause of lower back pain, Spinal Works can help to relieve pain, and improve function, and get you back to doing what you love.

Pain the mid, upper back, and neck area are usually related to overuse injuries, or problems with posture. Middle and upper back pain can make it difficult to sleep, work, and can radiate into the neck and shoulder region, causing discomfort throughout the day, and leading to headaches.

Spinal adjustments are the most effective way to relieve and manage middle and upper back pain. This will involve manipulations to the area, applying gentle force to mobilise the spine and improve alignment. Right away, you’ll be able to experience a reduction of pain and discomfort in the area.

For both lower and upper back pain, early chiropractic intervention is the key to successful treatment.
