60% of the population will suffer from back pain at some point in their lifetime, and yet many will not realise how powerful osteopathic treatment can be. A programme of active treatment and rehabilitation with an osteopath can be far more effective than the traditional approach of painkillers and rest. Back problems do not simply cause pain in the back. They may be the source of remote pain in the buttocks, legs or groin - commonly called sciatica. Back problems can disturb the mechanical function of the whole body and result in pain in the head, neck, arms and shoulders. Osteopathic treatment is often the most effective method to help correct these conditions - and back problems account for over 50% of the cases that osteopaths see. Back pain may be due to injury, but there are many
disease states and pathological conditions that can result in symptoms
of backache. These include: |

| Osteopaths are
skilled in the diagnosis of problems that may require further investigation
or medical treatment. While the above conditions are not curable by osteopaths,
the pain and distress of some of these conditions can be greatly relieved
as they correct any underlying imbalances of the musculo-skeletal system.
With your permission, the osteopath will liaise with your Doctor if needed.
However, most back troubles arise from mechanical or functional disturbances of the spine, and osteopaths have been treating these problems - with great success - for over a hundred years. Osteopathic treatment is unique as a patient's treatment
is approached comprehensively. Osteopaths do not look at patients simply
as back sufferers but as individuals with their own unique health requirements.
Treatment is designed to correct a patient's mechanical problems in order
to stimulate their own natural healing processes. Osteopaths do not simply
treat back problems but look at all the factors contributing to a disturbed
state of health. 1. For back pain, it is better to visit an osteopath
sooner rather than later If you have any questions please E-mail us at:-
