Back pain is one of the most common health problems faced by Australians, with up to 85% of people experiencing it at some point in their lives. Your lower back is a complex structure made up of muscles, joints, discs, ligaments, and nerves — and when any of these are strained or injured, pain can occur.
At Head2Toe Physiotherapy and Podiatry, you can access support and explore back pain treatment options at our Moonee Ponds or Brunswick clinics. Our physiotherapists will carefully assess your condition and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs, helping you recover faster and prevent recurrences.
We commonly treat back pain caused by:
Highly skilled physiotherapists with extensive experience in spinal care.

From conservative treatment to guidance on imaging or referral if required.
