Back pain care in Southport
Back pain assessment and personalised care
Back pain can affect work, sleep, exercise and everyday movement. Our experienced team takes time to understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Understanding your symptoms
Back pain can develop gradually or follow a particular movement, injury or change in activity. Muscles, joints, discs and movement habits may all play a part, which is why an individual assessment matters.
At our Southport clinic, we look at how you move, where you feel restricted and how your symptoms affect daily life. We then discuss suitable care options and practical steps to support your recovery.
What to expect
Your first visit starts with a conversation about your symptoms, health history and goals. We then assess the areas that may be contributing to the problem and explain what we find.
- A review of your symptoms, health history and current activities
- Movement, joint and muscle assessment suited to your presentation
- A clear explanation of findings and available care options
- Imaging or referral only when clinically appropriate
Care may include
Recommendations are based on your assessment and preferences. If care at our clinic is not appropriate, we will explain the next step and refer you when needed.
When to seek urgent care
Seek urgent medical attention for back pain following significant trauma, or when it occurs with new bowel or bladder changes, numbness around the groin, marked leg weakness, fever, unexplained weight loss or severe unrelenting pain.
