Back pain...

Back problems account for over 50% of the cases osteopaths see, and osteopathic treatment is often the most effective first line of attack in trying to correct these very debilitating problems.

Mechanical or functional disturbances of the spine and other areas of the body can cause back pain, but can also cause pain in the head, neck, shoulders and arms.

Osteopaths have been successfully treating these problems for over 100 years.

Most people think that back pain must be the result of injury.

In fact, many disease states and pathological conditions can give symptoms of backache.

These include: 

Abdominal or Pelvic disease, Anxiety states, Arthritis, Cervical or Lumbar Spondylosis, Dermatological problems, Kidney disease and Rheumatic conditions.

Osteopaths are skilled in diagnosing problems that may require further investigation or medical treatment.

While some of these specific conditions may not be curable by osteopathic treatments, correcting any underlying mechanical disturbances in the musculoskeletal system, can, in some cases, relieve pain and suffering.

With your permission, the osteopath will contact your doctor if medical treatment is needed.
