Osteopathy Treatment for Lower Back Pain
Most of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives, and visiting an Osteopath can help ease the discomfort.
What is lower back pain?
Lower back pain is any pain felt in the lumbar (lower) part of the spine.
This pain can be caused by a number of things, such as issues with the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, discs, or nerves in the spine. The sacroiliac joint (at the base of the spine) can also cause pain in this area. Osteopaths are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating back pain, and I use a gentle hands-on approach to help you get back to feeling your best.
What are the symptoms of lower back pain?
Lower back pain can be caused by a wide range of factors, from lifting heavy objects to sitting in awkward positions for extended periods of time.
Regardless of the cause, lower back pain can be debilitating, causing stiffness, weakness, and limited mobility. It can often be worse in the mornings, and ease as we move around.
