What type of back pain are you experiencing?
Back pain isn’t one-size-fits-all. Understanding the type of pain you have is the first step toward managing it.
🤔 Non-specific low back pain
Around 8 in 10 cases fall into this category, where there’s no single identifiable cause. Often linked to muscles, joints or everyday strain.
⚡ Acute back pain
Short-term pain that can come on suddenly, often from lifting, movement or minor injury.
⏳ Chronic back pain
Pain that persists for 12 weeks or more, sometimes continuing even after the initial cause has resolved.
➡️ Referred or radiating pain
Pain that travels, such as down the leg, often linked to nerve involvement.
🧠 Back pain doesn’t just affect the body - it can also impact mental wellbeing, contributing to stress, fatigue and reduced quality of life.
Understanding your pain is the first step to getting back to feeling good.
