One of the most common reasons people consult osteopaths is back pain and therefore we believe that we are true experts in dealing with all types and severity of back pain. Back pain affects over 80% of the population at some stage of their lives and is one of the biggest causes of absence from work. The pain may vary from a slight niggling ache to sharp debilitating pain that can affect every part of the back and also radiate to other areas of the body too.

It is essential that your osteopath diagnose accurately the source of your discomfort before any treatment is provided. Normal causes of back pain make up the vast majority of the cases we see and these include bad posture, poor seating, unsupportive beds and pillows, incorrect lifting, sedentary lifestyle, stress (both physical and mental), trauma, sports injuries, pregnancy, “arthritis”… the list goes on.
