Back Pain Physiotherapy in Castlewellan, County Down
Back pain is one of the most common reasons people come to Better Days — and one of the most treatable. Whether you have had a sudden onset of acute back pain or a long-standing problem that comes and goes, physiotherapy can help you understand what is driving it and give you a clear path to getting better.
Types of back pain we treat
Acute lower back pain (sudden onset, often from lifting or twisting)
Chronic lower back pain that has persisted for more than three months
Upper back pain and thoracic stiffness
Sciatica and nerve-related pain radiating down the leg
Disc-related back problems
Back pain related to posture, prolonged sitting, or sedentary work
Back pain during or after pregnancy
Our approach
Back pain is almost never as simple as a disc problem or a trapped nerve. In most cases, there are contributing factors — muscle imbalances, movement habits, loading patterns, stress — and addressing only the symptom without understanding the whole picture is why so many people's back pain comes back.
At Better Days, your assessment is thorough. Declan will take a detailed history, assess your movement, test your strength and neural tension, and explain what he finds before any treatment begins. Your treatment plan may involve hands-on therapy, targeted exercise rehabilitation, acupuncture, or taping — often a combination of these, progressed over several sessions as your back improves.
When to see a physiotherapist for back pain
You do not need a GP referral. If your back pain is stopping you from working, exercising, or sleeping; present for more than two to three weeks with no improvement; getting worse rather than better; or accompanied by sciatica or leg pain — then it is worth getting an assessment rather than waiting it out. Early intervention usually means faster recovery.
