When it feels structural – but the real cause might surprise you

Many people come to us after being told they have a disc bulge, chronic spinal pain, or other structural issues. It’s easy to assume that something is ‘broken’ —but here’s the good news: structural abnormalities like herniated discs are incredibly common, and many people with these conditions experience no pain at all.

In fact, lower back pain is often driven by something much more manageable —muscle imbalances, poor posture, core weakness, or stress-related tension. Lifestyle factors, emotional health, and the way you move (or don’t move) all play a huge role in how your body feels.

And that’s actually great news — because it means there’s something you can do about it.

With the right guidance, targeted movement, and a focus on restoring balance, you can experience meaningful pain relief — even if you’ve been living with chronic back pain for years.

Dealing with lower back pain that just won’t go away? Instead of masking the symptoms, we focus on uncovering the real cause – often rooted in issues like excessive lumbar tilt and a weak core.

At Back Pain Auckland, we take a deeper, more precise approach to back pain. Using advanced assessment tools, we accurately measure posture, spinal alignment, and core function to identify what’s driving your painful back.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s personalised care designed to correct the imbalances behind your back pain — so you can move better, feel stronger, and stay pain-free for the long haul.

As a trained CHEK Coach we use highly accurate specific instruments to assess for these imbalances and address the cause of back pain.

Common causes of lower back pain

Rapidly reduce your lower back pain

Struggling with lower back pain that just won’t ease up? In many cases, the real culprit isn’t an injury — it’s a weak, unstable core and poor posture habits that quietly throw your spine out of balance.

One of the most common issues we see is excessive lumbar tilt, which often goes unnoticed but creates stress on the lower back over time. These postural imbalances can lead to more than just back pain — they’re also linked to headaches, neck stiffness, and shoulder tension as muscles tighten or weaken in all the wrong places.

The good news? You don’t have to live with it.

Through targeted corrective exercises and a personalised movement program, we can help you restore balance, build strength, and relieve pain—fast. It’s not just about feeling better. It’s about moving better, for life.

Don’t ignore the warning signs — your posture is trying to tell

you something

That dull ache in your lower back after sitting too long? The tightness in your shoulders or the stiffness when you wake up? These are more than just everyday annoyances—they’re signals that your body is out of alignment.

Poor posture doesn’t just affect how you look—it quietly drains your energy, restricts movement, and makes back pain worse over time. Left unchecked, these imbalances can snowball into chronic pain that’s harder to reverse.

But here’s the good news: it’s not too late to fix it.

With expert guidance and the right movement strategy, you can retrain your body to move the way it was designed to—pain-free, strong, and confident.
