Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common complaint that can come on quickly from lifting/ bending awkwardly, or can be more long term and slow in onset brought about by poor posture or “wear & tear”. Either way, our practitioners can help to alleviate your back pain by treating dysfunction of the spinal joints and and addressing the commonly associated muscle spasm, strain or weakness.
Headaches & Migraines
Headaches can be both exhausting and debilitating, and many sufferers have poor or no response to medication. Due to many headaches arising from the joints and muscles in your neck and upper back, Osteopathic treatment is an effective drug free way of helping to reduce the incidence and severity of both headaches and migraines.
Neck & Shoulder Pain
Similarly to lower back pain, neck and shoulder pain is extremely common and in most cases originates in the joints, discs and muscles. The causes are many, but typically include an awkward sleep or sudden movement resulting in a “locked” neck, chronic poor posture (ie at your desk), whiplash of some kind or even a substandard pillow. Osteopaths are renowned for not only treating and alleviating the immediate condition but also finding the root cause for a patient’s complaint and implementing strategies for long term resolution.
