Chronic Lower Back Pain
& Sciatica Relief in Bicton
Targeted manual therapy for disc management, nerve pain and mechanical stiffness.
Lower back pain is a core pillar of our practice. Every patient presents a unique mechanical puzzle, and our goal is to move you from immediate relief to long-term functional resilience.
BOOK A LOWER BACK ASSESSMENT →More Than Just Adjustments
Back pain isn't always coming from one structure, so treatment shouldn't automatically be limited to one approach.
We combine traditional manual chiropractic adjustments with focused soft tissue therapy to address adhesions that restrict your range of motion.
By restoring fluid, pain-free movement to the joints and soft tissues, we support your body's natural recovery process.
Manual Treatment
Chiropractic adjustments and targeted soft tissue treatment are selected according to what we find during your assessment.
Activity Modification
We spend time providing you with the tools to stay active while you recover.
Load Management
We look at how much load your back is currently tolerating and how to build that capacity as you improve.
Is Your Back Pain Actually a Nerve Issue?
Many patients come to us after “everything else” has failed.
We look beyond just the joints and adjustments to consider whether nerves, discs and structures outside the lumbar spine may be contributing to the problem.
Looking Beyond “Just Lower Back Pain”
Lower back, buttock and leg pain can come from several different structures. Working out which are involved helps determine what we treat.
Disc Management
Evidence-based care for bulging or herniated discs.

Sciatica doesn't always originate from the spine. We also consider causes outside the lumbar spine, including Piriformis Syndrome and Deep Gluteal Syndrome.
Cluneal Nerve Irritation
A frequently overlooked cause of lower back and buttock pain that traditional treatments and practitioners can miss.

It's a complex mix of nerve irritation, muscle adhesions and load management.
At Southside Spine & Sport, our approach is to assess the structures that may actually be contributing to your pain and build treatment around what we find.
Find the problem.
Treat it directly.
Build capacity.
Hands-on treatment is only one part of the solution.
We dedicate time to discussing your daily activity, ergonomics and movement patterns, while treating the joints, muscles, nerves and soft tissues that appear to be contributing to the problem.
As things settle, the focus shifts towards restoring movement, managing load and building the resilience needed for everyday life.
Treatment Built Around What We Find
Nerve Pain & Sciatica
Comprehensive assessment of radiating leg pain and often-overlooked sources of discomfort like Cluneal Nerve Irritation.
Adhesion Release
We utilise specific soft tissue techniques to target fibrous restrictions in the muscles and fascia that contribute to persistent stiffness, reduced range of movement and pain.
Movement & Load Management
We help you understand your current level of function. By modifying your daily activities and managing how you load your spine, irritated tissues can settle while you build the resilience needed to reduce future episodes.
Staying Active While You Recover
Recovery doesn't necessarily mean stopping everything that hurts.
We spend time discussing your daily activity, ergonomics and movement patterns so we can work out what you can continue doing, what may need to be temporarily modified, and how to progressively increase activity as symptoms improve.
From Relief to Resilience
Hands-on treatment can help settle the problem. Activity and load management help you move forward from there.
