Back Pain

Assessment considers the painful region together with relevant history, mobility and mechanics.

Neck stiffness, restricted movement and mechanical neck complaints are assessed in context.

Some headache presentations may have musculoskeletal contributors; assessment helps determine whether manual care is appropriate.

Local tissues and broader movement factors may both be relevant.

Assessment can include local and whole-body mechanics.

Recent injuries and older problems that have not fully resolved can be assessed.

Assessment focuses on clinically relevant musculoskeletal findings rather than appearance alone.

If the same problem keeps returning, the clinic takes a broader history and examines other relevant mechanical or fascial findings.
