Back pain
Narre Warren.

Narre Warren's closest osteopath for back pain — just minutes away in Berwick.

Last reviewed: May 2025

Narre Warren sits about five minutes from our Berwick clinic along Princes Highway, so you're not driving across town with a locked-up back. We see a lot of Narre Warren locals: Fountain Gate retail and warehouse staff on their feet all shift, parents lifting kids in and out of car seats, and office workers commuting into the city. Back pain shows up differently in each of them, so the assessment starts with what your day actually looks like — not a generic protocol.

For a full explanation of what causes low back pain, how the different presentations are told apart, and what recovery usually looks like, read our complete guide to low back pain.

Common causes
Loaded lifting strain
Retail restocking, warehouse work, and repeated child-lifting load the lower back in flexion and rotation. This is one of the more common patterns we see from the Fountain Gate side of Narre Warren.
Facet joint irritationRead more →
The small guiding joints of the lumbar spine get stiff and sharp, usually one-sided, and worse when you extend or twist. Standing up after sitting is the giveaway.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
Where the pelvis meets the spine — a frequent driver of low back and buttock pain, especially post-pregnancy or after a stint of heavier physical work.
Deconditioning from commuting
Long daily drives and desk hours leave the deep stabilising muscles under-used. The back copes for a while, then a small movement tips it over.

How we treat it

First visit is a full lumbar and pelvic assessment, then hands-on treatment — joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, and a couple of targeted exercises you can actually fit around shift work or the school run. For the lifting-related presentations we spend time on how you load and unload, because that's usually what keeps re-triggering it. Most acute Narre Warren cases settle inside four to six visits.
