Sound familiar
You have tried resting it. It keeps coming back.
Most back pain we see is not complicated. It has just never been assessed properly. If any of these sound like you, we can help.
Nagging back pain is common and very treatable. The difference is getting an accurate assessment first, then a plan that actually addresses the cause.

The Injury Active approach
We do not just treat the pain. We fix why it keeps happening.
A rub down feels good for a day. A structured plan gets you back to lifting, running and sitting through a work day without thinking about your back. Here is how we work.
Assess
We diagnose the specific structure driving your pain, using hands-on assessment and objective strength testing. No guesswork.
Treat
Hands-on osteopathic treatment to settle the pain and get you moving comfortably again.
Strengthen
A clear exercise plan built around your body, so the problem does not come straight back the moment you stop treatment.
We use VALD strength testing to measure progress objectively, so you can see the difference, not just feel it.

Dr Nick Deris

Nick is dual-qualified as a sports osteopath and a sports scientist. That means he treats the pain with his hands and builds the strength plan that keeps it away, rather than sending you somewhere else for the second half.
He works with everyone from desk-bound back-pain sufferers to field-sport athletes, using objective strength testing to track your progress and a structured plan rather than short-term relief alone.
