What we treat
Back pain
Around 80% of people will experience lower back pain at some point. A holistic osteopathic approach looks beyond the sore spot to the hips, pelvis and mid-back that may be contributing.
Back pain is a widespread condition that osteopaths frequently address. Approximately 80% of individuals will encounter lower back pain at some point in their lives.
In some cases, imaging may not identify a specific ailment in a person's lower back (for example, a disc-related issue), leaving the patient unsure of how to handle the problem when it arises. Biomechanical imbalances within the hips, pelvis, or mid-back may contribute to lower back issues.
Osteopathic treatment is well-suited for cases like these, as the holistic approach provided will tackle issues potentially arising from other structures.
How we approach back pain
Your first appointment starts with a thorough assessment — your health history, daily demands and how you move — so treatment is based on an accurate understanding of you, not just the symptom.
Hands-on techniques are selected for your needs and may include massage, mobilisation, manipulation or indirect techniques, alongside practical mobility, strength and lifestyle guidance.
