How Back Sprains & Strains Happen
The five bones of your low back are stacked on top of each other, with a shock-absorbing disc between them. Your muscles and ligaments provide support for this part of the body that is so reliant on its surrounding structures. When these tissues stretch too hard or too far, they can cause "sprains" and "strains."
Back Pain Is Common
70% of patients can attribute their symptoms to sprain/strain injuries.
Lumbar sprains and strains often occur from sudden or forceful movements like a fall, twist, lift, push-pull. Most commonly these injuries are not the result of any single event but rather repeated overloading.
The spine is good at handling small isolated stressors; however repetitive challenges can lead to injury in much the same way that constantly bending copper wire will cause it to break due to wear and tear on its composition.
Lumbar sprain & strain can often arise because of direct blows such as falls or twists towards one side followed by quick motions such standing up straight after being seated, crouched down, etc.
Back Pain Needs Treatment
If the patient does not seek out treatment, they are 60% more likely to develop chronic back pain. This is why it's important to go see an appropriate doctor early on so you don't risk developing long-term issues later down the road.

I don’t know what I’d do without my monthly appointment. My movement vastly improved and there has been a reduction in persistent when I discovered this clinic.Janet13/02/2024
After being diagnosed with BPPV Vertigo I was really suffering and after not really making any progress with the Betahistine prescribed by the Doctor at the Royal Stoke I decided to see Dr Finn, who has previously resolved other muscular and skeletal injuries for myself and my family. With BPPV Vertigo being an issue with the inner ear I wasn’t sure if this was something he could resolve promptly ? The clinic fitted me in really quickly and after just two short visits my BPPV was fully resolved. After spending so much time on 111 and at the hospital I was relieved at how swiftly and efficiently Dr Finn resolved my BPPV, which was really bad. I can fully recommend this clinic for this and other treatments in a professional and effective manner. 10/10Greg Methven11/02/2024

My wife was suddenly in real pain around her hip area and upon making a phone call to Newcastle Chiropractic was given an immediate appointment. With a total of no more than 20 minutes she was feeling a lot less pain and doing gentle walking as recommended by Rob. She’s very grateful with a lot less pain and feeling mobile again.Richard Moth06/02/2024

I first started seeing Rob in 1998 when he took over from Jane Hvas at the Brampton Clinic. I have now been a patient of Robs for 25 years. I don't know what I would have done without the treatment and support I have re eived from him. He's simply the best.Linda Machin24/01/2024
Dott. Burcu Cetinkaya is the best chiropractor I've ever been treated by, and I've had many. Since the first visit at the clinic I've been examinated and listened very carefully about my problems and I've been given a personalised plan of treatment and exercises straight away. I've been checked vertebra by vertebra and rettified my posture, basically if there is a problem she will find out and I've never been so happy with my back, my problems they're gone and my posture is the best ever. I can't thank dott. Burcu enough even if an emergency occurred she has been always available and makes me feel safe. Not the last the ladies on reception are the kindest ever. The clinic service is a 5 star ???? all round. Thank you ???? ???? ????????Francesco Alfano20/01/2024
