If you are suffering low back pain right now then you’re not alone! Sadly 4 out of 5 of us will suffer low back pain at some time in our lives. Even sadder is that low back pain is on the increase across the world.

Of course we realise that this is of little consolation to you right now!

However, if you have been treating your back pain by lying down and taking it easy and/or taking medication then you may want to reconsider your approach.

Recent research published in the Lancet, a prestigious medical journal, suggests that the best treatment for low back pain is movement and physical activity. It also suggests that low back pain is over medicalised in the West!

The three papers in the Lancet cover the trends in diagnosis and treatment of low back pain around the world.

Chiropractic offers an effective drug free approach to treating back pain. If you haven’t tried chiropractic yet here is just what a few of our patients have to say about their experience at Witney Chiropractic Clinic:

“After seeing an Osteopath a few times which eased my lower back pain a small amount, I was beginning to think I would just have to “put up” with the pain for the rest of my days (I’m 35) but I found Richard’s website and figured I would give it a go!

I can’t believe that after just one session, I already feel so much better and my back is not going into spasm at all.

He explained everything to me and why I was feeling the pain and showed me exercises I could do to strengthen the muscles to prevent this from happening again.

Amazing – thank you!” Kate Ayre

“To me, Richard is a kind of miracle worker. When I first went to see him, I was in a lot of pain and my back was a disaster area.

Now, I’m feeling better, I’m more mobile and I’m enjoying life more thanks to his skill and advice.

Thanks Richard!” Phil Sands
