What We Treat
Report
Most people will experience back pain at one point or another throughout their life. Sometimes it lasts a few days, but occasionally it can become more chronic. There are many causes of lower back pain and many solutions; our Osteopaths will quickly identify these and get you out of pain. The term sciatica means that the sciatic nerve is being compressed somewhere along its pathway down your leg; sciatica is used to describe a group of symptoms.
Back Pain
Report
Muscles and ligaments become damaged if they are stretched too far or are overloaded by lifting. When tissues are damaged, the surrounding muscles can spasm, pulling joints into abnormal positions. If left untreated, this can lead to weakness and imbalances in the muscles. The many nerves that exit the spine at these levels also cause pain in other body areas.
Sciatica
Report
The term sciatica means that the sciatic nerve is being compressed somewhere along its pathway. This is used to describe a group of symptoms. There are many possible causes of sciatica, some of the most common are due to a bulging or prolapsed disc. The disc can cause mechanical compression directly on the sciatic nerve or the inflammation caused by the damaged disc can lead to irritation of the sciatic nerve.
Headaches
Report
Osteopathy can help with many types of headache. An example of these is cervicogenic (neck based) headaches. The pain typically begins at the back of the head. It then radiates to the forehead with associated neck tenderness caused by referral from bony, muscular, blood vessels or nerve structures of the neck.
Neck Pain and Whiplash
Report
Neck pain is a prevalent problem; muscle strains and ligament sprains are the most common cause. An acute strain can be caused by moving the head quickly, straining when lifting or even sleeping in an awkward position and can happen suddenly or over a short time. We will aim to reduce the muscle tension and improve the movement of the neck to speed recovery.
