Expert chiropractic care for back pain relief at ProHealth Chiropractic
Living with back pain or lower back pain isn’t just uncomfortable – it can completely disrupt your life. Whether you’re experiencing a dull, persistent ache or sharp, shooting pain, you’re not alone. Here in Chorley, our dedicated team at Prohealth Chiropractic understands how back pain can affect everything from your work performance to your ability to enjoy time with your family. We’ve helped many patients find relief and return to the activities they love, using proven chiropractic techniques and personalised care plans.
Understanding chronic & acute back pain treatment options
Your spine is more than just bones; it’s a network of vertebrae with soft discs to cushion in-between the bones. This protects the spinal cord, an intricate bundle of nerves necessary for the brain and body to communicate. With muscles, ligaments, and tendons to connect and support everything, there can be many components to back pain, and the discomfort can stem from various sources.
Other Pain Conditions
Common causes we treat include:
- Poor posture, repetitive movements, and emotional stress can all contribute to microtraumas that negatively impact the spine. Whether you work in a physically demanding role or spend long hours at a desk, these everyday stresses can take a toll on your posture and overall spinal health.
- Sudden trauma such as sports injuries, auto accidents, or birth trauma.
- Muscle tension due to stressors such as poor nutrition, dehydration or the natural aging process.
All of these things can cause misalignments that cause or contribute to inflammation, pressure, and irritation to the nerve roots that exit the spinal cord, and reduced nerve communication.
The impact of back pain extends far beyond physical discomfort. Many of our patients initially come to us after struggling with:
- Disrupted sleep patterns affecting work performance
- Inability to exercise or stay active
- Difficulty with daily tasks like lifting groceries or playing with children
- Decreased mobility affecting social activities and family time
- Chronic stress and tension from ongoing pain
Comprehensive back pain solutions at ProHealth Chiropractic
What makes back pain particularly challenging is that the source of your pain might not be where you feel it – that’s why proper diagnosis is essential.
Our approach to treating back pain goes beyond just addressing your symptoms. At ProHealth Chiropractic, we begin with a thorough examination using advanced diagnostic techniques to identify and correct the root cause of your discomfort.
We specialise in treating:
- Herniated and bulging discs
- Lower back strain and sprains
- Work-related injuries and repetitive stress
- Posture-related back pain
- Sciatica and nerve pain
- Spinal stenosis and degenerative conditions
- Sports injuries and performance optimisation
Using state-of-the-art chiropractic techniques and modern technology, we develop personalised treatment plans focusing on immediate pain relief and long-term spinal health. Our Chorley patients benefit from our comprehensive approach with precise spinal adjustments.
What sets us apart at ProHealth Chiropractic is our commitment to evidence-based care and patient education. We don’t just treat your pain; we teach you how to maintain your spinal health for lasting results.
Chiropractic care plan
While some patients experience immediate relief after their first few adjustments, lasting healing takes time and consistency. Think of it like straightening teeth with braces – meaningful spinal correction and healing happen gradually through regular care.
The timeline for improvement often relates to how long you’ve been experiencing back pain. Conditions that have developed over many years typically require more time to address than recent injuries.
After an initial care plan, we may also recommend the benefits of ongoing maintenance care. Just as you continue brushing your teeth after a dental cleaning, regular chiropractic adjustments help maintain your spinal health and prevent future issues.
Personalised support for your recovery journey
This proactive approach often helps patients remember, healing isn’t always a straight line. You might experience ups and downs during your treatment journey. Our team will be here to support you, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and help you achieve the best possible outcomes for your spinal health.

ProHealth chiropractic does exactly what it says on the tin. My first consultation brought instant relief with work from Michael and Connor on massage . I walked out with a feeling of euphoria after several days of lower back agony. Subsequent visits have got me back up to strength and flexibility. Can’t praise the team enough . Highly recommended!
