Pain Type Guide

What Type of Back Pain Do You Have?

Identifying your pain type is the first step to effective treatment. Our comprehensive assessment covers all of the following — and more.

Acute Back Pain

Sudden onset, often from lifting, twisting, or an accident. Usually resolves with treatment within 6 weeks.

Chronic Back Pain

Pain persisting longer than 12 weeks. Often related to structural issues, poor posture, or degenerative changes.

Disc-Related Pain

Bulging or herniated disc pressing on nerves. May cause sciatica or radiating leg pain.

Muscular Pain

Strain or tension in the muscles and soft tissues of the back. Common after overuse or poor ergonomics.

Postural Back Pain

Pain caused by prolonged poor posture — desk work, tech neck, forward head carriage. Increasingly common.

Nerve Pain

Tingling, numbness, or shooting pain caused by nerve compression. Requires precise diagnosis.

Not sure which type you have? Our comprehensive assessment will identify your exact condition and the best treatment approach.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Back Pain

Get clear answers before your first visit. Have more questions? Call us on 09 600 1939.

Back pain can be caused by many factors including poor posture, muscle strain, disc problems, spinal misalignment, arthritis, or injury. At AWC, our comprehensive assessment identifies the specific cause of your pain using physical examination, digital posture analysis, and X-ray when needed.
Acute back pain often improves within 2–4 weeks with treatment. Chronic conditions may require 2–6 months for significant structural correction. Your chiropractor will provide a clear timeline during the Report of Findings consultation.
Yes — if your back pain resulted from an accident or injury in New Zealand, ACC covers chiropractic ($40 co-pay), acupuncture ($0–$20 depending on practitioner), and spinal decompression ($30). No GP referral is required. Come directly to AWC and we'll register your claim on the spot.
Both can help, but chiropractors specialise in spinal alignment and nervous system function. At AWC, we offer additional modalities — acupuncture, spinal decompression, and soft tissue therapy — that physiotherapists typically don't provide, giving you a more comprehensive treatment approach under one roof.
In most cases, appropriate movement helps recovery — bed rest is rarely recommended for back pain. Our practitioners will guide you on which exercises are safe and beneficial for your specific condition, and which movements to avoid during your recovery phase.
Seek immediate care if you experience: loss of bladder or bowel control, progressive leg weakness, severe unrelenting pain that doesn't improve with rest, or back pain accompanied by fever. For persistent pain lasting more than a few days, professional assessment is recommended. Call AWC on 09 600 1939 if you're unsure.
