What type of back pain are you experiencing?
Back pain isnโt one-size-fits-all. Understanding the type of pain you have is the first step toward managing it.
๐ค Non-specific low back pain
Around 8 in 10 cases fall into this category, where thereโs no single identifiable cause. Often linked to muscles, joints or everyday strain.
โก Acute back pain
Short-term pain that can come on suddenly, often from lifting, movement or minor injury.
โณ Chronic back pain
Pain that persists for 12 weeks or more, sometimes continuing even after the initial cause has resolved.
โก๏ธ Referred or radiating pain
Pain that travels, such as down the leg, often linked to nerve involvement.
๐ง Back pain doesnโt just affect the body - it can also impact mental wellbeing, contributing to stress, fatigue and reduced quality of life.
Understanding your pain is the first step to getting back to feeling good.
