What to Do When Back Pain Won't Go Away
You once thought, “It’ll just go away on its own.”
But soon, weeks turn into months, turn into years. And one day, you realise, this isn’t going away.
- Tossing and turning throughout the night
- Struggling to work without discomfort
- Missing out on playing with your children or grandchildren
- Not engaging in exercise, outdoor activity, or sport
- Can’t enjoy travelling to exciting places and going on Holiday
- Not enjoying your hobbies and pursuing your passions
The restrictions can feel like wearing an uncomfortable or downright painful straightjacket you can never take off.
You’re told the only options you have for true relief are constantly flooding your body with medication or undergoing risky and invasive surgery.

The Reality of Living in the Back Pain ‘loop’
Most people with back pain have gone through what we call, “the loop.”
This is the constant research, action, failure cycle that stays stuck on repeat as you work your way through:

Pain relief patches

Specialist advice

Heat or ice

OTC painkillers

Sports therapy

Physical therapy

GP referral

Sports massage therapy

Manual therapies

Manual therapies
At times, the list can seem endless
And this doesn’t even include the long hours spent scouring the internet for support, help groups, or blogs, searching desperately for a solution that just works.

But the Truth About Back Pain is…
The most worrying aspect of “the loop”, is the toll it takes on our bodies, physically, mentally, and chemically.
Repeated Physical Stress can increase the risk of further damage.
Repeated Mental Stress from our thoughts can lower our immune system.
Repeated Chemical Stress from our medications can cause dangerous inflammation.
This is why ending this cycle sooner rather than later provides the optimal chance for healing.

You Don’t Have to Know What’s Wrong to Get Help
There are times when multiple issues and symptoms coincide or overlap.
For example:
Some back pain is actually a condition known as Sciatica, and some back pain can be caused by underlying issues in the spine where the holes where the nerves exit the spine can become compressed and reduced. This is known as lateral stenosis and can make walking any distance more difficult over time and make your legs feel like either cramping, heavier or like their lead weights you can’t take off.
We are not expecting you to know exactly what is wrong.
So you can get back to enjoying the things you love, faster.

I originally came to Life Balance to help with a dodgy knee that was causing me to limp and wasn't healing. 4 months on and not only am I no longer limping, but im ready to start running again, my migraines and headaches have become less frequent, I'm having fewer digestive issues and my mood has improved. The team are incredibly welcoming, seem to really care about your individual journey, and talk you through any adjustments so you are informed throughout the process.Posted on Google![]()

I came with lower back pain, I talk to the ladies at the reception about my condition (super nice and helpful) he immediately helped me make an appointment with the doctor. Dr. Harrison gets me back on my feet (super doctor) thanks to him and massages (kayla and jo) I can go back to work full time, the best in the pool, the prices are not bad, I really recommend (x-ray on site, consultation everything super helpful) thanks to the visits I can function without painPosted on Google![]()
Maria Luisa Bartlett de Isaacs29 September 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
My daughter sent me information about Life Balance Chiropractic Centre in Poole, Dorset about 6 weeks ago because she was aware of my constant neck, shoulder and arm pain. After the initial consultation and x-rays, the chiropractor practitioner Dr Chris, started to treat me twice weekly. Within a week I started feeling better and after 6 weeks of treatment, I can now say I am nearly pain free and I have better movement in my arm and neck. I also went to improve my posture, although it is improving with the treatment, still an ongoing process, but overall my quality of life has improved significantly. I had never been to a chiropractor before, so I was unsure what to expect. The sessions are short and powerful, the body is adjusting and healing after each session. Sometimes improvements are nearly instant and other times they take longer. I can highly recommend to anyone who has spinal issues and is looking for an alternative way of healing and improving their health.Posted on Google![]()

I first came to Life Balance because I was falling over a lot. When I fell down twice in one day I knew I had to do something about it. A colleague had been having treatment with Life Balance and I had watched his back pain improve over time so I made my first appointment with Harrison. I had an xray which showed I had a twist in the bottom of my spine and this needed correcting. I also had extreme pain in my lower back when I got out of bed in the mornings and I had to wait for this to subside before I could stand and walk about. I signed up for treatment and now over three years later I am pain free in my back and I haven't fallen over since I started. After starting with multiple visits a week I am now out to two monthly visits to check I am still ok and correct any other problems that turn up with life. I am now pain free in the mornings, my sleep pattern is so much better and I can look forward to walking correctly for the rest of my life. I will continue to travel from Wimborne to Poole as although I had already been seeing Chiropractors for the past 50 years it wasn't until I went to Life Balance that I got a solution. I am very grateful to Harrison for giving me the quality of life I now have.Posted on Google![]()

BACK PAIN FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions About Back Pain In Poole
If you are dealing with back pain, lower back pain, one-sided pain or stiffness, these FAQs answer the common questions people ask before booking an appointment for back pain in Poole.
What are the common causes of back pain?
Back pain can come from many different things.
Sometimes it starts after something obvious, like lifting, bending, slipping or exercising. Other times, it builds slowly from everyday habits and stress.
Common causes can include:
- sitting for long periods
- lifting or bending awkwardly
- stress and muscle tension
- poor sleep or posture
- previous injuries
- sciatica or irritated discs
- reduced movement in the spine or pelvis
For many people, the small movement that “sets it off” is not the whole cause. It is often the final straw after the back has been under strain for a while.
At Life Balance Chiropractic in Poole, we assess how your spine, joints, muscles and nervous system are working so we can help you understand what may be contributing.
Why does my back pain keep coming back?
Back pain often feels like it comes out of nowhere.
You might feel fine for a while, then one small thing sets it off again, like bending down, lifting something, sitting too long, sleeping awkwardly or feeling stressed.
When that happens, the small movement is often the trigger, not the whole cause.
It may be a sign your back has been under strain for longer than you realised. That is why an assessment can help you understand why the same pattern keeps returning.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we see pain as a signal — not the root problem.
How can you tell if back pain is serious?
Most back pain is not dangerous, but there are a few symptoms you should never ignore.
Seek urgent medical advice if your back pain comes with:
- loss of bladder or bowel control
- numbness around the groin or saddle area
- severe or worsening leg weakness
- fever
- unexplained weight loss
- major trauma or injury
- pain that is severe and getting worse
These symptoms are not common, but they matter.
If you are unsure, it is always safer to get checked. At Life Balance Chiropractic in Poole, we will always guide you towards medical support if your symptoms need it.
What are the red flags for back pain?
Red flags are symptoms that may mean your back pain needs medical attention.
They include things like bladder or bowel changes, numbness around the saddle area, unexplained weight loss, fever, major trauma, severe night pain, or weakness in the legs that is getting worse.
Most people with back pain do not have these symptoms.
But if something feels unusual, severe or worrying, do not wait it out. Speak to a medical professional first so you know you are taking the safest next step.
Can stress cause back pain?
Yes, stress can play a part in back pain.
When you are under stress, your body can hold more tension. Your breathing may change, your sleep may suffer, and your nervous system can become more sensitive.
That can make your back feel:
- tighter
- more reactive
- easier to irritate
- slower to settle after a flare-up
This does not mean the pain is “just in your head”. It means your body may be carrying more load than it can comfortably adapt to.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we look at how your body is adapting to stress, not just where the pain is showing up.
Why do I have pain on one side of my back?
One-sided back pain can happen when one area is taking more strain than the other.
You may notice it when standing up, bending, walking, turning in bed, sitting for a long time or carrying things on one side.
It can feel sharp, tight, achy or like your back is “catching”.
The important thing is not just where the pain is, but why that side is struggling. At Life Balance Chiropractic in Poole, we assess how your spine, pelvis, hips, muscles and nervous system are working together.
Are stretches good for back pain?
Stretches can help some people with back pain, especially if the back feels stiff or tight.
But they are not always the full answer.
If stretching makes the pain worse, only helps for a short time, or the same pain keeps coming back, your body may need more than a few exercises.
A good rule is: gentle movement should feel helpful, not forced.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we can assess what your back needs and give advice that fits your body, symptoms and goals.
When should I book an assessment for back pain?
You may want to book an assessment when back pain starts affecting normal life.
That could mean:
- it keeps coming back
- it affects your sleep
- it limits movement
- it makes work harder
- it stops you exercising
- it spreads into your hip, buttock or leg
- you feel worried about moving normally
You do not need to wait until the pain is unbearable.
If your back pain is changing how you live, move or feel, it is worth getting it checked.
What happens at my first back pain appointment?
Your first appointment is about understanding your back pain properly.
We will talk through what you are feeling, when it started, what makes it better or worse, your health history, your lifestyle, your work and what you want to get back to.
You do not need to know what is wrong before you come in.
That is what the assessment is for.
At Life Balance Chiropractic, we explain what we find clearly so you can understand what may be contributing and what your next steps could be.
Where can I find back pain treatment in Poole?
Life Balance Chiropractic provides back pain treatment in Poole for people dealing with stiffness, recurring flare-ups, one-sided pain and restricted movement.
We start with a detailed consultation and assessment, so we can understand what may be contributing to your symptoms.
If chiropractic care is suitable, we will explain your options and create a personalised plan around your needs.
If back pain is affecting your sleep, work, movement or daily life, booking an assessment can help you take the next step.
