Whether your back pain stems from work-related strain, lifestyle factors, or age, we aim to help you find relief and improve your quality of life.
Understanding Back Pain
Back pain affects a significant portion of the population, and in Strathpine alone, it’s estimated that over 1,700 individuals experience this condition (AIHW Back Problems). As the third leading cause of disease burden in Australia, back pain can affect people of all ages and occupations. Common causes include:
- Prolonged sitting, often seen in desk jobs.
- Poor posture and ergonomics.
- Sedentary lifestyles.
- Age-related changes in the spine.
Recognising these factors is the first step toward effective treatment and prevention.
Back Pain and Occupational Factors
Strathpine has a large working population engaged in desk-based jobs, including clerical and administrative roles. These occupations often involve:
- Prolonged sitting, which increases pressure on the lumbar spine.
- Limited movement throughout the day, contributing to muscle stiffness and imbalances.
At Northside Therapies, we provide ergonomic advice and tailored treatment plans to help manage and alleviate work-related back pain.
Lifestyle and Health Contributions
Many Strathpine residents face challenges related to modern, sedentary lifestyles. Contributing factors include:
- Insufficient physical activity: Regular movement is essential for maintaining a healthy spine and preventing pain (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
Our team provides personalised lifestyle advice and therapeutic exercises to help you stay active and support your spine effectively.
Age and Back Pain
With a median age of 37 years, Strathpine’s population includes many individuals in age groups where back problems are more prevalent (Australian Bureau of Statistics). Changes in the spine, including reduced disc height and flexibility, can contribute to pain as we age.
We use gentle, effective osteopathic techniques to address age-related back issues, helping you stay mobile and manage discomfort effectively.
