Speak To Our Team

What Is Chronic Back or Neck Pain?

Chronic pain is not just "in your head"—it involves a complex interaction between your nervous system, joints, and tissues. When pain persists for months, the body becomes over-sensitized.

Not tissue damage alone:Pain often outlasts the initial tissue healing time.
Nervous system sensitivity:Nerves become highly reactive to normal movements.
Muscle guarding:Surrounding muscles tighten to protect the area, causing secondary stiffness.
Movement apprehension:Avoiding movement over time weakens the structural integrity.
Reversible:With targeted clinical approaches, sensitivity decreases and resilience is built.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does recovery take?

Recovery time varies depending on the severity and duration of your condition. While some patients feel relief after a few sessions, structural and neurological recovery for chronic pain typically takes 6 to 12 weeks of structured rehabilitation.

Can sciatica be treated without surgery?

Yes. The vast majority of sciatica cases can be effectively managed and resolved with specialized physiotherapy, manual therapy, and targeted exercises without the need for any surgical intervention.

Do I need a GP referral?

No, you do not need a GP referral to see our specialist physiotherapists. You can book an assessment directly. However, if you are using private medical insurance, your insurer may require one.

What should I expect at my first session?

Your first session includes a comprehensive clinical assessment. We discuss your pain history, test mobility and strength, diagnose the core issue, and provide a clear, step-by-step recovery plan.
