Osteopathy treatment for back pain

Ageing is one of the main reasons cited for back pain. But as an Osteopath who treats the person not just the problem they present with, I know all too well that there can be various factors at play.

Back pain relief with osteopathy
In conjunction with 30 years of experience, a sizable part of my Osteopathic training is to detect any underlying factors a patient could present with to get to the root cause of the issue. This can help to prevent recurrences and work towards improving a patient’s overall health.

Every Osteopath works differently and has a different vision. But personally speaking, I believe the mind-body is one. Therefore, as an Osteopath and qualified Naturopath, I have a range of non-invasive evidence-backed Osteopathic treatments to use at my disposal. This includes the likes of:

Soft tissue techniques – to reduce tension in your back and relieve your pain.
Articulation – where I will move your joints through their natural range of motion.
Stretching – to help relieve stiffness.
Manipulation – to increase the mobility of the joints and relieve tension.
