What Causes Back Pain?
Back pain can arise from several factors, often linked to the spine, muscles, ligaments and joints. Common causes include:
Poor Posture: Sitting or standing incorrectly for long periods puts undue stress on the spine.
Injury or Trauma: Lifting heavy objects, sudden movements or accidents can strain the back muscles and ligaments.
Degenerative Conditions: Conditions like osteoarthritis or herniated discs can contribute to chronic back pain over time.
Whether your pain is acute or chronic, osteopathic treatment can help address both the symptoms and the underlying causes, allowing for lasting relief.
How Osteopathy Can Help
Osteopathy treats back pain through a variety of manual techniques, working to restore balance within the body’s musculoskeletal system. Here are some of the ways osteopathy can assist with back pain relief:
Soft Tissue Manipulation: This technique helps reduce muscle tension and inflammation, promoting better circulation and easing discomfort.
Joint Mobilisation: Osteopaths use gentle movements to improve mobility in the spine and joints, enhancing flexibility and range of motion.
Postural Advice: In addition to hands-on treatment, osteopaths provide guidance on posture and ergonomics to prevent future episodes of back pain.
At The Ashfield Practice, we take a personalised approach, creating a treatment plan that’s tailored to your specific needs and lifestyle. Whether you're dealing with lower back pain or discomfort in the upper spine, Lucy Osborne-Kirby will work with you to identify the best course of action.
