Support for Lasting Relief from Back Pain in South Melbourne
Back pain can creep into your life and stay longer than it should. It can show up after a long day at your desk, during physical work, or right when you're trying to relax. You might brush it off at first, but over time it starts getting in the way of how you move, how you sleep, and how you feel.
At Align Chiropractic, we work with people across South Melbourne and nearby suburbs who want to move better and feel more at ease.
Why Back Pain Happens
Back pain can come from many different habits or moments. Sitting too long without support, poor posture, lifting things the wrong way — all of these can leave their mark. Some people notice pain after a sports injury or workout. For others, it can be stress or slow wear over the years. Whatever the reason, the result is often the same: tightness, discomfort, and strain that stops you from doing what you need to do.
That’s why finding the cause can make a real difference.
How Back Pain Changes Everyday Life
It’s not always about sharp pain. Sometimes it's the small things that add up — trouble bending to tie your shoes, discomfort while standing, or shifting in your chair at work every few minutes. You might wake up stiff or lose sleep from not finding a good position at night. Maybe you’ve stopped going on walks or find yourself saying no to things you’d usually enjoy. It wears you down, physically and mentally. That’s why acting early helps.
How Align Chiropractic Assesses Back Pain
We start with a proper assessment. We’ll ask the right questions and look at how your body moves — not just where it hurts. This gives us a clearer picture of what’s behind the discomfort, whether it's linked to posture, movement, or your daily routine. We listen, observe, and make sure to understand your needs before we plan anything.
No two bodies are the same, so care should never be one-size-fits-all. We work with what you need today and help you build steps for tomorrow.
Chiropractic Help for Back Discomfort
We use chiropractic techniques to help support spinal health and daily comfort. That might include manual spinal movements, posture guidance, or advice on how to move with less strain. These are hands-on practices that fit into everyday life.
We walk you through each step because it’s important you know why you're doing what you're doing. It’s not just about appointments — it’s about the support you take home.
Simple Daily Changes That Can Help
A few small changes in daily habits can reduce pressure on your back. We talk to you about your sleep setup, the kind of chair you sit on, or how you hold yourself during the day.
At work, a better chair or screen height can change how your spine feels by the end of the day. If you’re working from home, small adjustments at the kitchen table can help. We’ll also go over ways to stay active in ways that fit your routine — like short stretches, walks, and ways to break up long sitting periods. You don’t need to change everything. You just need to start somewhere real.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I visit even if I’m not sure what’s causing the pain?
Absolutely. Many people come in without knowing why their back hurts. That’s what the assessment is for — to figure it out step by step.
Is chiropractic safe for someone with long-term back pain?
We always begin with a full assessment. This helps us give care that suits your history and movement. You’ll know what’s happening at each stage.
Do I need to bring anything to my first appointment?
Bring anything that helps explain your health story — past scans, history notes, or a list of your concerns.
Is there parking near the clinic?
Yes, there’s parking available nearby. We’re also close to public transport, too, stop 27 on the number 1 tram line stops just outside the practice!
What if I have back pain and other issues like headaches or neck pain?
That’s quite common. We take a full look at what’s going on in your body and talk about all your concerns during your first visit.
