Ever heard the saying, "I can feel it in my bones?"

Well as the weather turns colder, for those suffering from LOWER BACK PAIN this saying is too real!

Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat here at Keilor Health Centre. In fact, it's not just us, at any one time it is estimated that 33% of the global population are experiencing lower back pain RIGHT NOW and up to 84% of people will experience lower back pain in their lifetime*.

That's a LOT of back pain.

This time of year in particular can be challenging for long term lower back pain sufferers due to longer hours on the job, a decrease in physical activity and a cold change in weather. Research indicates this not only leads to a greater risk of mental health decline and an increase in fatigue and irritability but can also stop us from doing what we love; whether that be in the garden, on the golf course, holding a grandchild or simply getting a good night sleep**.

Luckily, lower back pain is not something you simply have to put up with.

Seeking the right help can greatly improve your pain and get you back to doing the things you love.

So, if you're experiencing lower back pain for the first time or the 1000th, stop putting help on hold.

Come and see us here at KHC.

We are available Monday to Saturday and have a limited number of before and after work appointments still available this week.
