Common Myths About Back Pain | Newcastle Chiropractic Clinic

At our busy chiropractic clinic in Newcastle under Lyme our chiropractors treat a wide variety of patients every week. Out patients range from the very young to the elderly and active sports people to the not so active. The one thing many of these patients have in common is back pain.

Back pain can be caused for a variety of reasons. In order to be able to diagnose our patients condition our chiropractors undertake a full consultation and examination. They are then in a position to get to the cause of the patient’s problem. During the consultation phase our chiropractors will ask questions in order to better understand the patient’s symptoms, medical history and lifestyle. Of course the patient may have questions of their own that they want to get answered too.

When talking with clients our chiropractors often hear some common myths that exist about back pain. Some of the most common being:

Back pain is uncommon
Resting a bad back is best
Taking painkillers will help

Unfortunately these myths can slow down a patient’s recovery and in the worst case can prevent recovery.

If you have been suffering back pain for some days then it’s best to seek professional advice. Our chiropractors at Newcastle Chiropractic Clinic are trained and experienced in diagnosing and treating back pain.

      
      
 
 
   I have been under treatment with Dr Kammouh for back pain and it has been wonderful. I could not have imagined a better response to treatment. From barely being able to walk with a spasm to doing 12 hour shifts without pain killers in a short space of time, the tretment has been amazing

   I have actually found someone who believed me when I say how much pain I was in and that there was actually something wrong. That alone was worth so so much. To actually walk away from a first appointment pain free, even though I know I need further treatments, is something I did not expect.  7 years of pain and I believe Dr Burcu Cetinkaya can genuinely help me. She is calm, patient and totally amazing.  I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you so much!

   I first booked a visit to the clinic about 12 months ago after suffering headaches and neck problems for over 20 years which had suddenly progressed into bouts of vertigo. The friendly reception staff make you feel welcome and Dr. Finn was really professional and knowledgeable. I started to feel an improvement from my first treatment and now feel better than I have in years. I can't recommended them highly enough. I wish I'd booked in years ago.
Thank you so much.
