Osteopathy and Back Pain

All back pain, whether acute or chronic (up to or over 3 weeks duration respectively), is extremely debilitating and can take over your life.

The cause of your back pain may be obvious to you. A day in the garden followed by an achy back, lifting something incorrectly and feeling your back ‘go’ or simply, a pain that will not go away.

Each pain, and set of circumstances leading up to it, has recognisable characteristics to an osteopath. They can tell him that a condition is treatable by him or is to be referred to another medical practitioner, usually your GP.

There are a variety of different causes and, consequently, treatments. Manipulation is useful and proven to be more effective, cost wise, than manipulation and exercise. The following reference links to the relevant article in the British Medical Journal.
