How can osteopathy help my back pain?

Osteopaths are skilled in diagnosing and treating back pain. Most back troubles result from mechanical or functional disturbances of the spine and osteopaths have been successfully treating these problems for over 100 years.

The osteopath uses a highly developed sense of touch called palpation, to identify points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body. After a thorough assessment, the osteopath will employ a variety of gentle techniques, such as soft-tissue massage, joint mobilization and manipulation, and muscle stretching to ease your back pain.

How to prevent back pain

  • Use the proper techniques when bending and lifting.

  • Exercise regularly to strengthen the back.

  • Improve your posture by sitting and standing upright, "think tall".

  • Keep within your ideal body weight. The more you carry around  the more your back will experience strain.

  • Studies show that depressed people experience a greater amount of lower back pain and  take longer to recover from an episode of lower back pain.

  • Make sure your mattress is supportive and do not sleep on your stomach. When lying on your side or back the pillow should fit just above the shoulder.
