Back Pain Treatment in Gladesville
Rated 5.0 by 100+ locals
Back pain? You're in the right place.
Living with back pain is exhausting. It affects your sleep, your mood and your stress levels, and it stops you doing the things you love. Sitting becomes uncomfortable, lifting becomes something you think twice about, and the whole day gets planned around it.
The good news? We can help. Because our physiotherapists and chiropractors work under one roof in Gladesville, you get the right treatment for your back rather than the only treatment the clinic happens to offer.
From your very first visit we'll identify the root cause, give you hands-on relief, and build a plan to stop it coming back.
- Lower back pain and stiffness
- Postural strain from desk work
- Sudden strains and lifting injuries
- Disc injuries and pinched nerves
- Ongoing or recurring back pain

Back pain, explained
01What causes back pain?
Most back pain comes from muscle strain, joint stiffness, disc irritation or postural overload. It usually builds up gradually through desk work, repetitive lifting or a jump in training load rather than arriving from a single event, which is why the moment it appears is rarely the moment it started.
02What are the symptoms?
Commonly a dull ache or a sharp catch in the lower back, stiffness first thing in the morning, pain that worsens the longer you sit or when you bend, and tension that spreads out into the hips or the upper back.
03When should I get it looked at?
If it has lasted more than a few days, if it keeps returning, or if it is affecting your sleep, your work or your training. Getting assessed early usually means a simpler, faster recovery than waiting to see if it settles on its own.
- Pain that has not eased after a few days
- Back pain that keeps coming back
- Pain travelling into the buttock or leg
- Numbness, pins and needles or weakness
- Pain that wakes you at night
04How do we treat it?
Hands-on treatment settles the pain and restores movement through the joints and muscles, then guided exercise rebuilds the strength and control your back needs to hold that improvement. Where it helps, we combine disciplines, so a rehab program might sit alongside your physio or chiro work rather than instead of it.
Lasting relief, not endless visits.
We focus on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes. Our team works to identify the true cause of your back pain so you can feel better for good, without needing constant ongoing appointments. You'll get treatment in your very first session, a plan you understand, and an honest view of how long it should take.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral to be seen for back pain?
No referral is required. You can book directly with our Gladesville team whenever you need support, simply choose a time that works for you.
Should I see a physio or a chiro for back pain?
Either is a sensible starting point, and you do not have to work it out before you book. We have both in the same clinic, so if your assessment suggests a different approach would suit you better we can say so on the day rather than sending you elsewhere.
What happens in my first appointment?
Your practitioner will chat with you about your symptoms, your lifestyle and your goals before assessing your back. You'll receive hands-on treatment in that very first session, along with a personalised plan setting out what to expect and how we'll help you recover.
How many sessions will I need for back pain?
This varies from person to person. Your practitioner will give you an estimated recovery plan during your initial appointment. Our focus is long-lasting results, helping you feel better without unnecessary repeat visits.
Can treatment stop my back pain returning?
That is the aim. Beyond settling the current episode, we build the strength and mobility your back is missing and coach you on lifting, desk setup and daily habits, because those are usually what caused the problem in the first place.
Do you offer health fund rebates?
Yes, we offer on-the-spot rebates for most private health funds. Just bring your card to your appointment and we'll process it instantly, so you only pay the gap.
Where is your clinic?
We're at 74 Morrison Rd, Gladesville NSW 2111, open Monday to Friday 7am to 7pm and Saturday 8am to 12pm.
