Help for Back Pain in Port Macquarie
Unsurprisingly, back pain is one of the most common reasons why people seek chiropractic care. This type of discomfort can make daily life challenging. Whether it’s a dull ache or sharp pain, it can affect how you move, sleep, and feel. Chiropractor Dr Neil Hecimovic offers personalised chiropractic care to help address the source of your back pain and get you moving more comfortably again.
Understanding the Different Areas of the Back
Your back isn’t one single structure – it’s made up of three main sections: the cervical spine (neck), thoracic spine (mid-back), and lumbar spine (lower back). Each plays a unique role in movement and stability. When any part isn’t functioning properly, it can cause pain that may stay local or radiate into other parts of your body.
Lifting, twisting, or sitting for long hours can often affect the lower back. Poor posture or stress can also cause tenseness in the mid-back. Desk work, screen time, or sleeping awkwardly can impact the upper back, including the neck.
Symptoms You May Experience
Back pain doesn’t always show up the same way. You might feel stiffness, burning, aching, or shooting pain. Sometimes it comes and goes. Other times, it travels down into your hips or legs. Each of these signs can point to different underlying issues, from joint restriction and nerve irritation to muscle tension or imbalance.
Dr Neil takes the time to understand how your pain presents, when it started, and what may be causing it. From there, care can be tailored to your body and needs.
How Chiropractic Care May Help
Chiropractic adjustments aim to improve movement in the joints of the spine, which may help reduce tension, pressure, and discomfort. Dr Neil uses gentle techniques to restore function and support your body’s natural healing process. You’ll also get practical advice on posture, stretches, and lifestyle habits that may help keep your back strong and flexible.
