Back Pain

Trouble with your back does not simply produce pain in the back. Often it may cause symptoms in more remote areas such as the buttocks, groin, hips,thigh and legs (commonly called sciatica). And problems in the spine and neck can also cause symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, clicking jaw, pins and needles and many more.

Indeed 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 easily to the stress and strain it is put under, but may still need help when growing or injured(see Osteopathy for Children) As it grows older (over 25 yrs!) it begins to lose some of the elasticity which gives the flexibility to cope and adapt.

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.

Osteopaths are trained professionals who are skilled in diagnosing, treating and rehabilitating problems, including those which may require further investigation if necessary. Osteopaths have treated thousands of patients successfully over the past one hundred years and continued success is demonstrated by reliable and practical results.
