Know when not to wait
Some symptoms need urgent medical attention.
Seek emergency care for new loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin or saddle area, rapidly worsening weakness in both legs, or severe back pain after a major accident. Fever with sudden severe or quickly worsening pain also needs urgent medical advice.
Begin with what you notice
Does this sound like your day?
Lower back pain can feel different from one person to the next. Choose the pattern closest to yours for the most relevant next step. This guide does not diagnose your condition.
01
Around my lower back
02
Into my buttock or leg
03
After sitting or lifting
04
During pregnancy
One symptom, many possible influences
What may be contributing?
Lower back pain is a symptom, not a single diagnosis. Similar discomfort can arise from different combinations of movement, loading, tissue sensitivity and health factors.
01
Muscle or soft-tissue strain
Often noticed after lifting, exercise, an awkward movement or a sudden increase in activity.
02
Prolonged sitting and workload
Long periods in one position, repeated work demands and limited movement breaks may increase stiffness or sensitivity.
03
Joint movement sensitivity
Spinal or pelvic joints may become stiff, irritated or less comfortable with particular movements.
04
Disc-related symptoms
Disc changes can sometimes be associated with back or leg symptoms and need appropriate assessment.
05
Nerve-related leg pain
Pain, tingling, numbness or weakness into a leg may reflect nerve involvement, including sciatica.
06
Pregnancy-related change
Changes in load, posture, activity and pelvic mechanics may influence comfort during pregnancy.
A symptom list cannot identify the cause. Your history and examination help determine the most appropriate next step.

Frequently asked
A little more clarity before you visit.
Still unsure whether this is the right next step? Send us a short message about what you are experiencing.
Is lower back pain always caused by a slipped disc?
No. Lower back pain may involve muscles, joints, movement patterns, nerve sensitivity, workload and other health factors. A slipped disc is only one possible contributor, and similar symptoms can have different causes. Your history and physical assessment help us understand your condition and recommend the appropriate next step.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Please bring any recent X-rays, imaging reports, medical reports and a list of medications you currently take. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily. Please also tell us if you are or may be pregnant, or if you have recently experienced a major injury, surgery or significant change in symptoms.
Will I need an X-ray before chiropractic treatment?
At All Ages Chiropractic, a suitable spinal X-ray is normally required before chiropractic treatment for new adult lower-back-pain patients. Your consultation and examination come first so Priscilla can determine the appropriate views and confirm that imaging is suitable. If you already have recent X-rays, please bring them for review. X-rays are not routinely performed during pregnancy, so tell us if you are or may be pregnant.
Why is my back pain worse after sitting?
Sitting is not necessarily harmful, but remaining in one position for a long time may increase stiffness or sensitivity. Your workstation setup, lack of movement breaks and recent activity levels may also contribute. Changing position and moving regularly can help, but persistent or worsening pain should be properly assessed.
Is poor posture causing my lower back pain?
Not necessarily. There is no single “perfect” posture, and posture alone usually does not explain lower back pain. How long you remain in one position, your daily activities, recovery and your body’s ability to manage physical demands can all matter. We assess the complete picture instead of blaming one posture.
What if my lower back pain travels into my buttock or leg?
Pain, tingling or numbness travelling into the buttock or leg may involve nerve irritation, including sciatica, but not every leg symptom has the same cause. Your assessment may include neurological checks to determine whether chiropractic care, further investigation or referral is appropriate.
Seek urgent medical care if you develop new bladder or bowel problems, numbness around the groin area, or rapidly worsening weakness in both legs.
