- General, acute or persistent back pain
- Lower back pain
- Lumbago
- Mechanical back pain

- Restricted neck movement
- Muscular tightness and spasms
- General shoulder and upper-back discomfort
- Postural strain

What happens at your first appointment?

- When and how the problem began
- Activities that improve or aggravate it
- Previous injuries or episodes
- Relevant medical history

Where clinically appropriate, the assessment may include neurological, orthopaedic, postural and physical examination procedures.

- What the examination suggests
