Back Pain That Lasts Is a Signal — Not a Life Sentence.
Chronic back pain is incredibly common in people over 40 — especially here in Cumbria, where life can be active, physical, and demanding. Most people have been told to stretch more, take painkillers, or “learn to live with it.” But that’s not real help.
Your body is trying to heal — it just needs the right support. My name’s Peter Bennett, and I’ve helped thousands of people across Cumbria reduce or completely recover from persistent back pain using natural, gentle chiropractic care.

Why Gentle Chiropractic Works — Even After Months (or Years) of Pain
Your spine protects your nervous system — and your nervous system controls everything. When spinal movement is restricted or misaligned, it affects how your body heals, how it moves, and how it feels.
By restoring clear communication between your brain and body, gentle chiropractic helps:
Free up stiff joints and trapped nerves
Improve posture and movement
Calm the pain signals that won’t turn off
Support lasting healing — not just quick fixes
Your First Step Could Be the Easiest One Yet.

STILL NOT SURE?
Frequently Asked Questions
Why does my back still hurt after all this time?
Because the root cause hasn’t been addressed. The nervous system can stay “stuck” in pain mode — and needs support to reset.
Is it safe for people in their 50s, 60s or 70s?
Absolutely. My approach is gentle, and designed with your age, health and comfort in mind. I've safely looked after clients in theuir 90s
Do you treat people from my town?
I see clients from Carlisle, Penrith, Kendal, Keswick and the whole of Cumbria.

Exploring the Roots of Back Pain Treatment: A Journey Through History
A Journey Through Time: The Evolution of Back Pain Treatment
Hello everyone! Today, I want to take you on an exciting journey through time, exploring how back pain treatment has evolved from ancient civilizations to the present day.
The Beginnings in Ancient Egypt (around 3000 BCE)
Our first stop is Ancient Egypt, where the Edwin Smith Papyrus, one of the oldest medical texts, reveals fascinating details about early back pain treatment. The Egyptians were ahead of their time, using physical therapy, herbal remedies, and possibly even surgical methods to alleviate back pain. It's incredible to think that some foundations of modern physical therapy have roots this ancient!
Ancient Greece and the Wisdom of Hippocrates (around 5th Century BCE)
Next, we travel to Ancient Greece, where the legendary physician Hippocrates described several methods to treat back pain, including traction and manipulation. He emphasized a holistic approach, advocating for a balanced diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes. His beliefs laid the groundwork for many principles we use in chiropractic care today.
Traditional Chinese Medicine (around 2698 BCE)
In Ancient China, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approached back pain with acupuncture and herbal medicine. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, a revered ancient text, details these practices. The precision of acupuncture, targeting specific points in the body, reflects a deep understanding of the human anatomy that was quite sophisticated for its time.
Ayurveda in Ancient India (around 1500 BCE)
Moving to Ancient India, Ayurveda, the traditional system of medicine, included herbal remedies, dietary changes, and yogic practices for back pain treatment. The Sushruta Samhita, an ancient text, even discusses surgical techniques. This holistic approach resonates with the chiropractic emphasis on treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
The Roman Empire's Approach (1st Century BCE to 5th Century CE)
Finally, in the Roman Empire, the physician Galen promoted massage and exercise for treating back pain. Roman bathhouses were also popular for their therapeutic benefits. It's fascinating to see how the concept of wellness and relaxation played a role in pain management, a concept still relevant in our stress-filled modern lives.
Connecting the Past to the Present
As a chiropractor, I find it fascinating to see the threads of ancient wisdom woven into modern back pain treatment techniques. From physical therapy to the holistic approach, our ancestors laid the groundwork for many methods we use today. While technology and medical understanding have significantly advanced, the core idea of treating back pain through a combination of physical, herbal, and lifestyle interventions has remained a constant.
I hope this journey through time has given you a new perspective on the treatments we offer today. Remember, back pain treatment has a rich history, and as your chiropractor, I'm here to guide you through the best of ancient wisdom and modern science to find relief and wellness.
Stay healthy and pain-free!
