If you are unsure what is causing your symptoms, a professional assessment can help identify the underlying issue and guide the most appropriate treatment plan.

Types Of Back Pain We Commonly Treat

Lower Back Pain Conditions

Lower back pain is often linked to muscle strain, joint restriction or disc-related issues. It may affect your ability to bend, lift or sit comfortably.

Neck & Upper Back Tension

Neck pain and upper back stiffness are commonly associated with desk work, posture and stress. These symptoms may also contribute to headaches.

Sciatica & Nerve Pain

Sciatica can cause pain, tingling or numbness that travels from the lower back into the leg. This is often related to irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Postural & Lifestyle Pain

Long periods of sitting, poor workstation setup and inactivity can contribute to ongoing discomfort and reduced mobility.

Chronic & Recurring Pain

Some patients experience long-term symptoms that fluctuate over time. These cases often benefit from a structured treatment and rehabilitation approach.

For related conditions, you can explore our Symptoms & Conditions page.

How Osteopathy Helps Relieve Back & Neck Pain

Osteopathy focuses on improving how your body moves and functions as a whole. Rather than only treating the area of pain, we assess how different parts of your body are working together.

Treatment may include:

Joint mobilisation to improve movement
Soft tissue techniques to reduce muscle tension
Stretching and mobility work
Postural and ergonomic advice
Rehabilitation exercises to support recovery

This combined approach helps reduce pain, improve mobility and support longer-term results.
