Back Pain, lumbago, back ache is all the same thing. Often though there is not simply pain in the back. Symptoms an occur in other areas such as the buttocks, groin, hips, thigh and legs(sciatica) and feet . Problems in the spine can also cause symptoms such as, pins and needles, pain or 'tooth ache' in the leg and numbness in the leg or foot.

Here's the 'science' bit ...........Research has shown that problems related to the back may affect over 60% of the UK's population at some stage in their lives.

When young, the body can adapt more easily to the stress and strain it is put under, but may still need help when growing or injured. As we grows older (over 25 yrs!) we begin to lose some of the elasticity which gives the flexibility to cope and adapt. .... essentially we stiffen up!

In particular this applies to the discs between the vertebrae and the joint cartilage. These require regular movement to ensure their maximum range and thereby increase local circulation and nutrition to the surrounding fluids and tissues.

The Osteopath is a trained professional who is skilled in diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating problems, including those which may require further investigation if necessary.
