At City Osteopaths in Wellington, we specialise in providing comprehensive care for individuals suffering from lower back pain and back spasms. Our team works to address the underlying causes of pain, helping clients regain comfort and mobility through tailored osteopathic solutions.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain may arise from various sources, each requiring a unique approach to care. Some of the most common causes include:

Back spasms

Often triggered by sudden movements, strain, or prolonged poor posture.

Sedentary lifestyles

Where extended sitting or minimal movement can lead to muscular tension and pain in the lower back.

Overuse injuries or minor trauma

Such as lifting heavy objects without proper technique or being in a car accident.

When to Seek Help

Lower back pain can present in various ways. Here are a few signs that indicate you may benefit from osteopathic support:

  • Localised discomfort, such as bottom left back pain

  • Reduced mobility, making it challenging to bend, twist, stand or walk comfortably
