Back Pain

We understand your problem

Back pain is extremely common - about eight in ten people in the UK are affected at some time in their lives. Back pain can affect anyone at any age, although the most common age to get back pain is between the ages of 35 and 55. There are multiple causes of back pain, ranging from poor posture to more severe (less common) conditions such as infection, vertebral collapse, tuberculosis or cancer.

Accurate diagnosis is key

The diagnosis of back pain is generally made by a qualified clinician using:

• A detailed history of how the pain developed and other associated factors
• A thorough clinical examination
• A diagnostic test such as a MRI scan
