What Causes Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain is rarely caused by just one thing. In most cases, it builds over time — through a combination of movement patterns, posture, stress and load on the body.
At Nomad Chiropractic in Mosman, we often see that it’s not a single injury driving the problem, but how the body has adapted and compensated over weeks, months or even years.
Common causes of lower back pain include:
Prolonged sitting and desk posture
Spending long periods sitting — especially with poor posture — can place ongoing stress on the lower back and surrounding muscles.Lifting, bending or sudden movements
Even simple movements like picking something up or twisting awkwardly can trigger pain, particularly if the area is already under strain.Muscle tension and joint restriction
Tight muscles and restricted spinal joints can reduce movement and increase pressure through the lower back.Disc irritation or bulging
The discs between the vertebrae can become irritated or inflamed, sometimes leading to pain that travels into the hip or leg (commonly referred to as sciatica).Pregnancy and postural changes
Changes in weight distribution, ligament laxity and posture can place increased load on the lower back.Stress and nervous system load
Ongoing stress can increase muscle tension and alter how the body moves and responds, often contributing to persistent discomfort.
In practice, we often find it’s a combination of these factors — rather than one single cause — that leads to ongoing lower back pain.
👉 This is why simply resting, stretching or pushing through often doesn’t fully resolve it.
Understanding what’s driving your back pain is the first step — and it’s exactly what we assess in your initial consultation

▪️ Pain lasting more than a few days

What to expect at Nomad Chiropractic
-
Initial Consultation
45mins
Your chiropractor will take the time to understand your back pain in detail — not just where it hurts, but why it’s happening.
We look beyond the symptoms to explore your posture, movement patterns, work setup, stress levels and injury history — because back pain is rarely caused by just one thing.
A comprehensive assessment follows, including orthopaedic, neurological, postural and spinal evaluations to understand how your lower back, pelvis and nervous system are functioning together.
- referral for xray if required.👉 This is where we start to identify what’s actually driving your back pain — not just temporarily relieving it.
-
Report of Findings
30mins
At your second visit, we walk you through exactly what we’ve found — in a clear, practical way that makes sense.
You’ll understand:
- What’s contributing to your lower back pain
- How your body is compensating
- Why it may not have settled on its own
→We’ll also outline your personalised care plan — whether your goal is pain relief, improved movement, or stopping it from continuing to come back.👉 This is where things start to click — and you get a clear plan forward.
-
Regular Appointments
15mins
Care is focused on reducing tension through the lower back, improving movement, and supporting better nervous system function so your body can adapt and recover more effectively.
As your care progresses, appointments build on each other — helping you move with more ease, reduce flare-ups, and feel more confident in your body.
We reassess regularly, tracking your movement, spinal function and symptoms to ensure your care stays aligned with your progress.
👉 The goal isn’t just short-term relief — it’s helping your back feel and function better long-term.
Why lower back pain keeps coming back
Lower back pain is rarely just a “muscle problem”.
It’s often a combination of:
🌸 Spinal joint restriction
🌸 Poor movement patterns
🌸 Nervous system overload (stress, fatigue)
🌸 Disc irritation or inflammation
🌸 Compensation from hips, pelvis, or posture
👉 Which is why quick fixes don’t last.

Back pain can be caused by something:
physical (like a fall, car accident, or even from being sedentary (not moving enough)
emotional (stress has a huge impact on the spine)
systemic or visceral; (organ referrals) or
chemical (eg poor diet, dehydration, prolonged pharmaceutical use, antibiotics etc)
Pregnancy associated back pain
Back pain can start for seemingly no reason at all...
Examples of back problems include:
back or spine pain (such as lower back pain, and sciatica),
vertebrae and disc disorders (such as narrowing of the spinal canal, disc degeneration and disc bulge/herniation);
and deforming disorders (such as scoliosis).(5)
Non- specific low back pain: For about 8 in 10 Australians who suffer back pain, it’s not caused by any particular condition – this is called ‘chronic primary low back pain’ (also known as non-specific low back pain) which is most common in people aged 35 to 55 years, but it can affect people of all ages.(6)
-
Acute pain
Acute pain means the pain is short in duration (3-6mths). Acute pain also tends to be related to a soft-tissue injury or a temporary illness, so it typically subsides after the injury heals or the illness subsides. Acute pain from an injury may evolve into chronic pain if the injury doesn’t heal correctly or if the pain signals malfunction. Acute pain is less complicated and much easier to help resolve.Chronic pain.
Duration: longer than 3 months. It can be constant or intermittent (comes and goes). Chronic pain occurs at the spinal cord level (ie it no longer needs a stimuli) so requires retraining of the brain to resolve it; and will require a longer term management plan.Neuropathic pain.
Is often chronic; and is caused by damage to the nerves or nervous system. It is often described as shooting, stabbing, or burning pain. It can feel like pins and needles; or can have a sensory change to hot/cold etc.Nociceptive pain
This type of pain is damage to body tissue - often experienced in the joints, muscles, skin, tendons, and bones. It can be both acute and chronic.Radicular pain (eg sciatica)
This type of pain occurs when the spinal nerve(s) get compressed or inflamed. You may experience tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. The widest known example is sciatica - shooting pain down your leg.

Understanding Common Types of Low Back Pain
At Nomad Chiropractic, we frequently encounter three main types of low back pain: herniated or bulging discs, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, and facet joint dysfunction.
Herniated or bulging discs often cause pain that radiates from the lower back down into the buttocks, thighs, and calves, frequently accompanied by numbness or weakness in the legs.
Facet joint dysfunction generally causes more localised discomfort in the lower back, but can occasionally radiate to the buttocks, hips, or thighs.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction typically results in a dull ache on one side of the lower back, which may spread to the hips, buttocks, and even the upper thighs.
At Nomad Chiropractic, our experienced chiropractors are here to guide you in understanding and managing these conditions. We’ll work with you to create a personalised care plan that addresses your unique needs and helps you get back to feeling your best.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Low Back Pain
At Nomad Chiropractic in Mosman, we believe that the key to managing and overcoming low back pain is movement.
Our chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper motion to your spine and pelvis, which can make a big difference in reducing your symptoms and improving your overall function.
By addressing misalignments, or 'subluxations', we help enhance the communication between your brain and body. This improvement in nervous system function positively impacts many aspects of your lower back health, including pain, movement, balance, and posture.

Don’t put up with it! Do something about it today!
If your lower back pain has lasted more than a few days, keeps coming back, or is starting to affect how you sit, sleep, or move, it’s a good idea to get it checked. A lot of people wait until the pain is severe, but earlier assessment often means quicker recovery and less long-term compensation in the body. At Nomad Chiropractic, we focus on identifying the underlying cause, not just managing symptoms.

Chiropractic care can help both short-term relief and long-term improvement, depending on the cause of your pain. At Nomad Chiropractic, we assess your spine, nervous system, posture, and movement patterns to understand what’s driving your symptoms. The goal isn’t just to ease pain for a few days — it’s to help your body move and function better so the issue is less likely to keep coming back.
-
Recurring lower back pain is often linked to underlying issues like poor posture, spinal joint restriction, muscle imbalances, previous injuries, or ongoing stress on the nervous system. Many people treat each flare-up as a separate issue, but it’s usually the same root cause repeating. That’s why a proper assessment is key — so we can break the cycle rather than just chasing symptoms.
