Chiropractic care for back pain and sciatica in Torrevieja and San Miguel de Salinas — without drugs, without surgery.
BACK PAIN & SCIATICA
Back discomfort is one of the most common physical complaints encountered globally. It is estimated that 70% to 90% of the population will experience an episode of back tension at some stage in their lives.
For anyone who has suffered from this condition, you know how severely debilitating it can be, making it a leading contributor to daily physical limitations.
Back issues can significantly impact your quality of life, hampering everyday movements.
Due to the varying nature of back discomfort, there are many potential functional presentations, including sciatica (which can involve numbness, tingling, or shooting tension down the back of the leg), facet joint restrictions, muscle strains, and disc bulges.
Properly identifying the mechanics of your back tension is key to achieving lasting recovery.
Common Factors Contributing to Back Discomfort:
Often patients will describe pain with even the slightest movements, a shooting or stabbing pain down the back of the leg (sciatica), a dull ache, numbness around the area or stiffness with locked movements.

What is the most common cause of back discomfort?
Once any rare underlying conditions are ruled out, the most common cause of back and sciatic tension is mechanical in nature. This means the complex joints of the spine are not moving as freely or smoothly as they are designed to.
These mechanical restrictions create localized stress, which can lead to muscular spasms, compensatory structural changes, and irritation or compression of the delicate nerves surrounding the lumbar spine and pelvis.
Suboptimal alignment places excessive, asymmetric pressure on your vertebral discs and joints, frequently triggering referred sciatic nerve tension down the lower limb.
How our chiropractic approach support your Back Recovery:
At Chiropractic Centre Nicolas FREY DC, we adopt a comprehensive approach to managing back discomfort. We evaluate your entire structural frame, not just the site of injury, ensuring all contributing biomechanical factors are addressed.
Our process begins with a complimentary initial consultation to discuss your history and determine if our non-invasive care is the right approach for you. If we can assist, we move forward with a detailed physical examination using advanced structural, orthopaedic, and neurological tests to precisely evaluate your spinal function.
Based on these insights, we construct a personalised care plan tailored to support your body's natural alignment and function. Our hands-on approach incorporates precise spinal adjustments, targeted muscle and soft-tissue work, and the prescription of custom rehabilitation exercises.
We also review key lifestyle habits, ergonomics, and movement strategies to help you prevent future instances and enjoy long-term mobility.
We treat back pain and sciatica at both our clinics on the Costa Blanca South. Visit our Torrevieja clinic (Tuesday & Thursday) or our San Miguel de Salinas clinic (Monday, Wednesday & Friday morning).
