Struggling with Low Back Pain? Here’s How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people in Newcastle seek medical help — and it’s no surprise. Whether it’s from long hours sitting at a desk, past injuries, or ongoing stress, lower back issues can take a serious toll on your work, sleep, and quality of life. At Nineways Chiropractic, we specialise in helping Newcastle locals find lasting relief from low back pain and chronic pain conditions — without relying on quick fixes or medication.

Why Is Low Back Pain So Common?

The lower back (lumbar spine) carries much of your body’s weight and absorbs the impact from everyday activities like walking, lifting, or even standing. Over time, poor posture, a sedentary lifestyle, or movement imbalances can overload this region, leading to issues such as:

  • Disc injuries (disc bulges or herniations)

  • Facet joint sprains

  • Muscle spasms and guarding

  • Sciatica and referred leg pain

  • Chronic pain syndromes and nervous system sensitisation

What’s often overlooked is the root cause — which may not even be in your back at all. That’s where our approach is different.

💡 A Different Approach to Chronic Pain

At Nineways Chiropractic, we don’t just treat symptoms. We work with people who have been dealing with pain for months, sometimes years, and are ready to find the root cause. Our clinicians are trained in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilisation (DNS) and other advanced movement-based systems to assess your full body — not just the sore spot.

We ask:

  • Is your spine moving the way it’s designed to?

  • Is your nervous system sensitised and stuck in “protective mode”?

  • Are your hips, pelvis, or breathing mechanics contributing to overload?

We build personalised plans that help reset dysfunctional patterns, retrain your stability system, and reinforce long-term resilience.

What to Expect from a Chiropractic Visit at Nineways Chiropractic

Here’s what makes us different from a standard chiropractic clinic in Newcastle:

  1. Thorough Initial Assessment
    We take the time to understand your history, lifestyle, and movement patterns.

  2. Hands-On Treatment
    Gentle, specific adjustments and soft tissue work aimed at calming the nervous system.

  3. Active Rehab Tailored to You
    We guide you through exercises that help you move better, not just feel better temporarily.

  4. Education & Long-Term Strategy
    We teach you what’s causing your pain and how to prevent it coming back.

🧠 The Link Between Chronic Pain and the Nervous System

Many chronic low back pain cases are not just structural — they involve the central nervous system. If your body has been “protecting” an area for a long time, your brain can amplify pain signals. Our approach includes techniques to calm the nervous system, improve breathing and stability, and rebuild trust in movement — critical components in long-term recovery.
