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.

But

WHAT IF

“I’ve tried everything.”

✔ You’ve treated symptoms. I help you correct the cause.

“I’m too old.”

✔ Age makes healing slower — not impossible. I help people in their 60s, 70s, even 80s move freely again.

“I don’t want to be cracked.”

✔ No cracking here. My approach is calm, gentle, and effective — even if you’re nervous or sensitive.

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.

Back Pain Myths

Back Pain Myths Debunked: What Really Works?

Back Pain Myths Debunked: What Really Works?

Dealing with back pain can be a daunting experience, often leading us down a path of myths and misconceptions. Let's debunk some common back pain myths and shed light on what truly works.

Myth 1: Rest is Best for Back Pain

Contrary to popular belief, prolonged rest might worsen back pain. It's crucial to stay active to maintain muscle strength and flexibility. Gentle exercises, like walking or swimming, can significantly aid in recovery.

Myth 2: Only Heavy Lifting Causes Back Pain

While heavy lifting can strain your back, it's not the only culprit. Factors like poor posture, stress, and even a sedentary lifestyle contribute significantly to back pain. It's essential to pay attention to everyday activities and how they impact your back health.

Myth 3: Painkillers are the Only Solution

Relying solely on painkillers for relief is a temporary fix. It's vital to address the root cause of the pain. Incorporating a holistic approach, including physical therapy, ergonomic adjustments, and stress management, can offer more effective and long-term relief.

Myth 4: Back Pain is Always Related to Spinal Injuries

Back pain doesn't always stem from spinal injuries. Muscle strains, ligament issues, and other non-spinal factors can also cause discomfort. It's important to get a proper diagnosis to target the actual source of pain.

Effective Treatments:

1. Exercise: Regular, low-impact exercises strengthen back muscles and increase flexibility.

2. Posture Correction: Maintaining good posture reduces unnecessary strain on your back.

3. Ergonomic Adjustments: Creating a back-friendly workspace can prevent and alleviate pain.

4. Stress Management: Techniques like meditation and yoga can relieve stress-induced back pain.

5. Professional Guidance: Consult healthcare professionals for tailored advice and treatment.

Conclusion:

Dispelling these myths is the first step towards effective back pain management. Embracing a comprehensive and informed approach to back health can lead to significant improvements. Remember, every back is unique, and what works for one might not work for another. Stay informed, stay active, and don't hesitate to seek professional advice for your back pain.
