Back pain is something many people in Solihull and Sutton Coldfield experience. Whether it’s caused by desk work, parenting, lifting, or day-to-day strain, it’s one of the most common reasons people seek help from a chiropractor.
At The Chiropractors, we’ve been helping local people with back pain for over 26 years. With three established clinics — two in Solihull and one in Sutton Coldfield — we understand how back pain can disrupt daily life. We treat each person as an individual and take time to understand what’s going on, so we can support recovery naturally and effectively.
While back pain is one of the most common reasons people visit us at The Chiropractors, chiropractors also help with other musculoskeletal issues such as neck pain, headaches related to neck tension, migraines, joint pain and more.
Why Do So Many People Struggle with Back Pain?
Back pain doesn’t only affect older adults. We regularly see people of all ages with discomfort linked to:
- Long periods sitting at a desk or in the car
- Poor posture or core strength
- Muscle tension or stress
- Past injuries
- Heavy lifting or awkward movement
There can be many different causes of low back pain — from muscles, joints, discs, or nerves. Often it’s a combination. Our chiropractors carry out detailed assessments to find the root cause and create a personalised plan to help your body recover and function well.
When to See a Chiropractor
If your back pain has lasted more than a week, is affecting sleep, or stops you doing everyday tasks, it’s worth getting it checked. Chiropractors are trained to identify what’s contributing to your pain and help you move forward with care tailored to your needs.
At our Solihull and Sutton Coldfield clinics, we begin with a thorough consultation. This may include a posture scan, orthopaedic and neurological checks, and a full history. We’ll explain what we find and talk through your options.
Many people tell us they feel more mobile, more confident in their bodies, and better able to manage daily life. One patient said they could tie their shoes again without discomfort — a small but meaningful win.
What You Can Try at Home
While a full assessment is always best, here are a few simple ways to support your back:
- Take breaks from sitting every 30–60 minutes
- Place a cushion or towel behind your lower back for support
- Start the day with a gentle stretch
- Stay hydrated — your spinal discs need water
- Build strength with simple movements like bird-dogs or glute bridges.
If something causes pain or discomfort, pause and seek advice.
Chiropractic Training and Safety
Chiropractors in the UK must complete a degree lasting a minimum of four years, often five. They study anatomy, physiology, diagnostics, and hands-on techniques. All registered chiropractors are regulated by the General Chiropractic Council and complete ongoing professional development.
