Back pain
Officer.

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

Last reviewed: May 2025

Dealing with back pain in Officer? RISE Sports & Spinal in Berwick is your closest osteopathic clinic — approximately 5 minutes away via Princes Freeway. We treat the full range of lumbar presentations: acute disc flares, chronic low back pain, SIJ dysfunction, postural strain, and referred leg pain. Our assessment identifies the mechanical driver clearly, so you understand what's happening and have a structured plan to fix it — not just settle the current flare.

Common causes
Lumbar disc irritation
Disc bulges or herniations can press on nearby nerves, creating pain, stiffness, or referred leg symptoms — typically worse with prolonged sitting and forward bending.
Facet joint dysfunction
Inflammation or stiffness in the lumbar facet joints creates sharp, localised pain and difficulty straightening, particularly after rest or first thing in the morning.
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
The SIJ is a common but underdiagnosed source of low back and buttock pain — particularly after pregnancy, heavy manual work, or changes in activity load.
Muscle guarding
After an acute back injury, surrounding muscles go into protective spasm. Without treatment, this pattern can persist and become the dominant pain driver long after the initial trigger.
How we treat it

Full lumbar and pelvic assessment — posture, movement quality, joint mobility, and neurological screening. Treatment combines joint mobilisation or manipulation, soft tissue release, and progressive load-building exercises. Acute cases typically improve within 4–6 sessions; chronic presentations respond well to structured rehab over a longer course.
