Back Pain Treatment Singapore
Do you Need a Chiropractor for Nagging or Chronic Back Pain?
Back pain is more than just a nuisance, it can make simple activities like bending down to tie your shoes feel impossible, turning everyday tasks into genuine challenges. If you’ve been ignoring that dull ache or stubborn twinge, thinking it’s just ‘part of life’, you’re not alone.
Many people shrug it off, but persistent back pain can take a real toll on your energy, mood, and overall quality of life and shouldn’t be ignored.
At Elite Spine Centres, we understand what it feels like to have your back slow you down. Whether it’s a chronic ache that never seems to go away or sudden sharp pain after a long day, we know that even small improvements can make a huge difference.
You deserve relief, mobility, and a life where your back doesn’t dictate your choice of whether to go to work or that party, and we can help.
Say Goodbye to Back Pain Without Pain Medicine, Spinal Injections or Orthopaedic Surgery When You Experience the Functional Correction Method (FCM)!
Why a Chiropractor is Your Best Choice for Back Problems
When it comes to finding help for a back problem, the options can be overwhelming: physiotherapists, general practitioners, surgeons, but a chiropractor often offers the most direct path to lasting relief. This is because we specialise in the spine and musculoskeletal system.
That means we’re trained to understand how your back moves, what’s causing tension, and how to restore function without just masking the pain with medication.
Think of your spine like a complex machine. When one gear is out of place or one part has packed in, the whole system can stop working properly. A chiropractor looks at the whole picture, not just the spot that hurts. We identify misalignments, tight muscles, and movement patterns that could be keeping your back problem alive and kicking.
With our expertise, we work to address these issues and help you find relief, reduce the risk of further injury, and support you in regaining greater freedom of movement.
Whether you’re dealing with an old injury, poor posture from hours at a desk, or mysterious chronic tension from everyday life, seeing a chiropractor who truly understands spinal health can be a game-changer.
As Seen In
Our Signature Functional Correction Method (FCM)
Often, pain is the way your body shows you that something isn’t operating the way that it should be.
Let us bring you relief with our Elite Spine chiropractic treatment strategy.
Our signature Functional Correction Method (FCM) combines the best in modern chiropractic strategies, soft tissue therapy, and rehabilitative exercises to address your concerns thoroughly.
Step 1 – Initial Consultation
At Elite Spine Centres, we firmly believe in creating a low-stress, patient-centric environment.
Our Doctor of Chiropractic will review your symptoms and health history in detail to understand better what may be causing your concerns.
We will work with you to address your and concerns, ensuring that you understand your condition before proceeding with treatment.
There will be no hard sales or excessively long treatment packages – we want to work with you, not against you!
Step 2 – Spine and Body Examination
A thorough physical examination will be performed to assess your spine and other relevant areas for proper bio-mechanics, possible injuries or safety concerns.
Orthopaedic or neurological tests may also be performed if needed at this time. This will allow us to rule out possible underlying causes and obtain a proper diagnosis.
Most of our patients will be able to receive treatment on their first session once any potential safety concerns have been ruled out!
Step 3 – Doctor’s Report and Recommendations
The doctor will assess your response to the first session and review any studies which may have been requested (X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, etc.).
Based on the findings, a customised plan of action will be discussed with you to help you reach your treatment goals.
Compared to the typical approach of symptoms management via medication, doctors of chiropractic can deal with the problem right at the root.
That being said, chiropractic is not a miracle cure. In rare events that we cannot help, rest assured that we will help you find the right solutions for your back pain.
Step 4 – Holistic Chiropractic Treatment
Treatment usually involves chiropractic manipulations to realign your body back to its natural state and improve blood flow to soft tissues.
If needed, advanced therapeutic technologies may be used to complement your healing.
Your comprehensive treatment plan will also involve personalised lifestyle advice and rehabilitative exercise programmes to prevent your condition from recurring and restore proper long-term movement patterns and posture.
This means our patients are able to achieve more complete recovery in a shorter amount of time than at other centres!

Meet Singapore’s Trusted Specialists for Back Pain and Spinal Health
At Elite Spine Centres, we don’t just fix aches and pains, we help you understand your body so you can take control of it.
Unlike many clinics in Singapore, we bring together chiropractic, osteopathy, and physiotherapy all under one roof. That means if your back, neck, or joints are acting up, you don’t need to run around to three different clinics as we know that would only put more stress on your back and spine.
We can handle most spine and body issues in one place. It’s faster, more efficient, and saves you both time and money, no more juggling multiple appointments or repeating your story to different specialists.
Here’s what makes us different from the rest:
- Everything in One Place: From adjustments to soft tissue therapy to rehab exercises, we offer a full range of treatments in one convenient location.
- Tailored Care: Your body isn’t like anyone else’s, so your treatment plan shouldn’t be either. We mix different methods to suit your needs.
- We Explain the ‘why’, not Just the ‘What’: Most people who’ve been to multiple clinics only leave knowing what is wrong. At Elite Spine, we make sure you understand why it happened. Why is your lower back stiff? Why do your shoulders ache after long hours at a desk? Once you know, you can take steps to prevent it from happening again.
- Practical Advice for Everyday Life: We’ll show you simple ways to move better, sit smarter, and take care of your back in ways that make sense for your day-to-day life, not just exercises you forget about after a busy week.
Even patients who have ‘tried everything’ often tell us that understanding their body is the part they value the most. Learning why their pain exists gives them confidence, control, and peace of mind. It’s like going from driving a car blindfolded to finally seeing the dashboard, understanding the warning lights, and knowing exactly how to stop it breaking down on the motorway.

Learn More About Back Pain
For our pain specialist to help with relieving pain, you’ve got to know the basics of back pain
The more you know, the more you can tell us, and the better we can create a back pain treatment strategy!
What are the types of back pain?
Poor posture, an incorrect sleeping position, unsuitable lifting practices, and chronic overuse are all causes of low back pain.
The intervertebral discs and the joints between the vertebrae may be affected by these injuries. Everyday activities might also cause microdamage these locations, obstructing smooth movement and function over time.
Lower back pain often goes away after 2 – 6 weeks, and it can be separated into two categories:
Mechanical Pain
This is pain caused by particular movements and normally goes away with prolonged bed rest. Muscle strains, ligament sprains, and wear-and-tear of the spinal joints and discs are the most likely causes.
Non-Mechanical Back Pain
Pain that occurs without or with movement is referred to as non-mechanical pain. When the person is sleeping, it may cause pain symptoms to worsen considerably. It could be neuropathic or caused by a condition eroding the spine’s structure, such as an infection or cancer.
The sciatic nerve extends from the back of the pelvis down to the back of the thigh. It’s a major nerve that provides feeling to the back of the thigh, part of the lower leg, and the sole while controlling the muscles in the back of the lower leg and knee.
When the sciatic nerve is inflamed, it is known as sciatica. Alongside back pain, you may feel leg pain as well. However, sciatica itself is often caused by another issue, such as a herniated disc or a spinal injury.
Spondylosis
Spondylosis is a degenerative condition that affects the spinal joints and the discs, ligaments, and joints. Spondylosis causes the discs between the vertebrae to lose their cushioning effect and may compromise the integrity of your ligaments.
This can lead to microscopic stress fractures in the vertebrae, weakening the bones to the point where it slips out of position. In addition, spondylosis can create nerve compression, causing pain or a tingling feeling in the legs or arms in severe cases.
Repetitive pressures on the spine, normal wear-and-tear as we age, and trauma are common causes of spondylosis.
Other Types:
Lumbar strain/sprain injuries.
Intervertebral disc injuries (bulging or slipped disc)
What are the common symptoms of back pain?
People may experience different symptoms, ranging from severe to mild back pain. Therefore, getting yourself checked out professionally before attempting treatment is always a better idea.
Some symptoms include:
Muscle spasm
Muscle weakness
Stiffness in the neck and shoulders
Occasional lower back pain that is numbing or sharp
However, seek immediate medical attention if your back pain presents as the following:
Chronic, severe pain that does not improve with rest
Bending in all directions that aggravates the problem
Pins and needles in one or both legs, persistent nerve pains, pain or sensation of numbness
Progressively severe pain over days
Leg weakness, walking difficulty, and unsteady walking
Back pain linked with loss of bowel or bladder function
Pain accompanied by loss of appetite, weight loss, tiredness, fever, and chills
What are the causes of back pain?
The back is a complex structure of joints, ligaments, bones, muscles, and nerves.
Thus, it is susceptible to a myriad of problems, ones you often can’t control—sprained ligaments, slipped disc, spinal stenosis, irritated joints, muscle strain, and compressed spinal cord or nerve roots, to name a few.
However, certain factors may increase your likelihood of developing a back condition.
Risk Factors of Back Pain
There are many ways people can develop back issues, particularly low back pain. Therefore, it is imperative that we pay attention to how we exert stress on our spinal column.
Age – The older we get, the higher the risk of having back problems.
Limited exercise – Limited movement can cause low back pain due to weak muscles.
Existing medical conditions – Certain conditions such as arthritis, obesity, and cancer can cause back pain.
Stress – Both mental and physical stress causes back pain. For example, people with anxiety and depression have a higher risk of developing back and neck pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Many Treatments Will I Need, and How Much Will it Cost?
We offer a range of therapies that can be used individually or combined for maximum benefit. The number of sessions and cost will vary depending on your condition and treatment plan.
Our friendly doctors and staff will walk you through your options, explain what’s best for you, and help you choose what fits your lifestyle and budget. Despite the high level of personalised care we provide, our prices remain very competitive in Singapore.
Can Patients With Osteopenia or Osteoporosis Receive Chiropractic Care?
Absolutely. Many people think chiropractic care is only about ‘cracking’ joints, but our approach includes a wide range of techniques. For patients with reduced bone density, we use gentle, low-force methods and complementary therapies to address their pain safely.
Do I Need an X-Ray Before I can Receive Treatment?
For most patients, an X-ray isn’t required before starting treatment. Depending on your age, condition, or other factors, the spinal health specialist may recommend imaging for a follow-up consultation. But rest assured, the majority of patients can begin their care safely without it.
