What Causes Lower Back Pain?
The lower back is a complex structure of bones, discs, joints, muscles, nerves, and ligaments — all working together to support your body through every movement you make. When any part of this system is under stress or out of balance, pain is the result.
The most common causes we treat include:
Disc Herniation (Slipped Disc) When the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes outward and presses on nearby nerves, it can cause severe local back pain — and often shooting pain down the leg (sciatica).
Muscle Spasm One of the most acutely painful back conditions. Sudden or sustained muscle contractions in the lower back can make even small movements feel impossible.
Facet Joint Irritation The small joints that connect each vertebra can become inflamed or locked, causing sharp, localised pain — often worse with twisting or bending.
Sciatica Pain that originates in the lower spine and radiates through the buttock and down the leg, caused by compression of the sciatic nerve.
Poor Posture and Muscle Imbalance Years of sitting, driving, and screen time create imbalances that place abnormal stress on the lower back — leading to chronic, low-grade pain that gradually worsens over time.
Degenerative Disc Disease Age-related wear and tear on the spinal discs that reduces their ability to absorb shock and maintain spinal spacing.
How We Treat Lower Back Pain
At Dublin City Chiropractic, we don’t just treat the pain — we identify and address the underlying cause. That means faster recovery, longer-lasting results, and a lower chance of the problem coming back.
Your first appointment includes:
Full Case History We take the time to understand your pain — when it started, what makes it better or worse, your lifestyle, your work, and your health history. The more we understand about you, the more targeted and effective your treatment will be.
Physical Examination A thorough assessment of your spine, posture, range of motion, and neurological function. We may also perform specific orthopaedic tests relevant to your condition.
Clear Diagnosis We explain exactly what’s causing your pain, in plain language. No jargon. If we feel further investigation (such as an MRI) is needed, we’ll tell you and help arrange it.
Treatment — In Most Cases, Same Day We begin treatment at your first appointment in most cases. You don’t have to wait for results to start.
Treatment may include spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, rehabilitative exercises, and tailored lifestyle advice — all specific to your condition and your goals.
How Long Will It Take to Get Better?
Every patient is different, and recovery depends on the nature and duration of your condition. That said, most patients experience meaningful improvement within 4–8 sessions — and many feel a difference after their very first treatment.
At your first appointment, we’ll give you an honest picture of what to expect and how long we think your recovery will take. We never pressure patients into committing to more sessions than we believe they need.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a GP referral to see a chiropractor for back pain? No — you can book directly with us without any referral.
Is chiropractic safe for lower back pain? Yes. Chiropractic is one of the most evidence-based, widely recommended treatments for lower back pain. It is considered safer than long-term use of many common pain medications.
What if my back pain is very severe? Severe back pain is something we deal with regularly. In many cases, patients who can barely walk when they arrive feel significantly better after their first session. If we feel your condition requires urgent medical attention, we will tell you immediately.
Will I need X-rays or an MRI? Not necessarily. In most cases a thorough clinical examination gives us everything we need to diagnose and begin treating you. If we feel imaging is important, we’ll advise you and can help arrange it privately at short notice.
How quickly can I get an appointment? We aim to see new patients within 24–48 hours. Book online anytime or call us on (01) 6444555.
