Back Pain Treatment | A Safe Option

What Is Lower Back Pain?

Lower back pain is considered to be pain in the area from where the ribs end to where the hips start and can be anything from mild to severe pain. For some clients it can resolve itself in a few days or weeks, but for many people it becomes an ongoing problem they deal with for months or even years. According to the recent surveys it is estimated that 70-90% of Australians experience back pain at some stage during their life. Pain relief medications can offer a temporary solution to the pain, but they don’t address the cause of the issue. Myotherapy for lower back pain can be a very safe and effective way of providing instant relief and correcting any postural issues that are causing the pain.
