If you’ve been dealing with back pain that gets better and then comes back, you’re not doing anything wrong. You’re just treating the wrong thing.
Most back pain treatments — physio, painkillers, massage, stretching — target the site of the pain. They make you feel better for a while. But if the underlying structure of your spine is misaligned, the pain will keep returning until that’s addressed.
The Real Reason Back Pain Returns
Your spine is a structure. When it’s misaligned — even slightly — it puts uneven pressure on your discs, joints and muscles. Your body compensates, other areas tighten, and eventually that compensation becomes pain.
The problem is, the place where you feel the pain is almost never the source of the problem. It’s just where your body ran out of ways to compensate.
This is why treating the symptom never fully works. The compensation pattern remains and the pain returns.

What Desk Work Does To Your Spine
If you work at a desk in London, your spine is under stress for the majority of your waking hours. Sitting compresses the lumbar spine, rounds the upper back, and pushes the head forward — a position that adds the equivalent of 27kg of pressure to the cervical spine.
Over time this becomes your default posture. And your default posture becomes your pain pattern.
What Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC) Does Differently
ABC chiropractic is a structural approach that identifies the specific spinal misalignments your body cannot self-correct — and corrects them precisely and progressively.
Unlike general chiropractic adjustments, ABC works with the body’s own mechanics to restore alignment from the inside out. As your structure improves, your nervous system calms, your posture changes visibly, and your pain resolves — not temporarily, but progressively.
Most of our clients at Respark Clinic in Nine Elms notice a difference from their very first session.
