Back Pain Treatment in Central London
If back pain is stopping you from sitting, standing or sleeping comfortably, our chiropractors in London Bridge and Liverpool Street can help you find lasting relief. Back pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see us, and it rarely responds well to rest alone. Getting the right combination of assessment, hands-on treatment and rehabilitation exercise is usually what gets people moving normally again, faster than they expect.
How Back Pain Feels
Back pain rarely comes from one isolated event. More often, it builds up gradually through joint restriction, muscle guarding or postural strain, until a single movement -bending to pick something up, twisting awkwardly, or simply standing up from a chair -tips it into a flare-up. For some people it is a sharp, sudden pain when lifting. For others, it is a deep ache after sitting too long, or stiffness that makes it hard to stand up straight first thing in the morning. It can stay localised in the lower back, or spread into the hips, glutes or thighs when a nerve is involved.
Common Causes We Treat
We see back pain linked to disc compression, facet joint irritation, muscle spasm, poor lifting technique, long hours at a desk, pregnancy-related changes, and old sports or manual work injuries that were never fully rehabilitated. Sedentary routines and City working hours make lower back problems especially common among our London Bridge and Liverpool Street patients.
Assessment & Treatment
Every plan starts with a thorough consultation and physical examination, so we understand exactly what is driving your pain before we touch anything. In most cases, we are able to begin treatment in that very first session.
Hands-On Care Built Around You
Depending on what your body needs, treatment might include chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, sports massage, stretch therapy, or physiotherapy-led rehabilitation. We explain what we are doing and why at every stage, so the process never feels confusing.
Getting You Back to Full Movement
As pain settles, we build in targeted exercises, posture advice and a gradual return to the activities you have been avoiding, whether that is running, gym training, or simply sitting through a full work day comfortably.
Why Choose London Bridge Chiropractic
We keep things straightforward: pay-as-you-go pricing with no packages or upfront commitments, a consultation and exam that leads into treatment on the same visit, and appointments that fit around a busy life, including evenings and Saturdays. If getting into a clinic is difficult, our team can also visit you at home or at work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many sessions will I need for back pain?
Most people notice an improvement within two to four sessions, though this depends on how long you have had symptoms and what is causing them. We will give you a realistic idea of timescales after your first assessment.
Do I need a GP referral to see a chiropractor?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us, and we will carry out a full consultation and examination before any treatment begins.
Is chiropractic treatment for back pain painful?
Treatment is generally gentle and should not be painful. Some techniques can feel slightly uncomfortable if muscles are very tight, but we always work within what feels manageable for you.
