Back pain can range from a muscle aching to a shooting, burning or stabbing sensation.  In addition, the pain may radiate down your leg or worsen with bending, twisting, lifting, standing or walking. 

​

• Does sitting for sometime tend to make you feel stiff?

• When getting out of the car do you feel an alleviation of pain or stiffness in the lower back when walking for a few minutes?

• Does your pain travel from your lower back to your hips, buttocks or even down your leg?

  Or does your pain travel from your legs into your lower back?

• Do you have good back days and bad back days?

• When standing for a long time - do you find yourself having to sit down after a while due to back pain?

  When going for a walk does your pain become increasingly worse?

  Do you feel that your upper body may be shifted or unbalanced more so on one side than the other?

If you answered yes to any of the above, there is a good chance that you may be suffering from mechanical low back pain. The McKenzie method of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT) is the best assessment to help you understand and fix your problem.
