Back pain or lower back pain can be an intermittent deep ache or constant pain across the lower back often to the left or right side sometimes giving pain down one or both legs. Many factors can cause low back pain, stress, depression, posture, sedentary lifestyle or osteoarthritis O/A degenerative changes or wear and tear. Often the cause is muscle or ligament strain, misalignment of the spine or a disc problem but all respond well to osteopathic treatment with exercises and advice given on maintaining a healthy back

Neck pain is often caused by poor posture, long hours doing computer work, stress and poor pillow support. Muscles of the upper back and neck can become strained often causing a nerve to become trapped giving pain, tingling and numbness down into the arm. With specific osteopathic techniques to relax the muscles and to relieve the nerve irritation mobility of the neck can be restored to normal function with advice on how to maintain good posture.

Headaches are generally not serious but osteopaths are trained to rule out anything of concern and refer you for further tests. Usually headaches are caused by neck tension related to posture and stress often leading to pain at the back or front of the head.
