Low Back Pain Clinic Bromley – Specialist Assessment & Treatment

At Bromley Sports Injury Clinic, we support people living with both sudden flare-ups and long-term back problems. If you’re experiencing stiffness, sciatica, muscle spasm, or postural strain, our experienced team provides expert assessment and tailored treatment — no GP referral required.

Common Symptoms of Low Back Pain

Low back pain can present in different ways. You may notice:

  • Difficulty walking, sitting, or standing for long periods

  • Pain radiating into the buttock, groin, or down the leg (sciatica)

  • Pins and needles, numbness, or weakness in the legs or feet

  • Dull aching at rest, sharper pain with movement

  • Muscle spasms or tightness across the lower back

  • Tenderness or sensitivity to touch

  • Morning stiffness that eases as you move

What Causes Low Back Pain?

At our Back Pain Clinic in Bromley, common causes we see include:

  • Poor posture from desk work or driving

  • Lifting or bending awkwardly

  • Twisting the spine under load (e.g. at the gym or playing sport)

  • Overstretching or muscle overuse

  • Stress and tension building in the back muscles

  • Weak core or deconditioned support muscles

  • Age-related changes such as joint wear or arthritis

Do You Need a Scan for Back Pain?

Most cases of back pain do not require scans such as MRI or X-ray. Research shows imaging often reveals changes that aren’t linked to pain. If your symptoms suggest nerve compression — for example, sciatica, numbness, or significant weakness — we may recommend further investigation or refer you for imaging.
