Osteopathic treatment is a great option for Back Pain.
Research shows that osteopaths are highly qualified to diagnose, treat and manage back pain. Cranial osteopathy is a great option and can be very effective at reducing or alleviating the symptoms of back pain.
There are many causes of back pain. Commonly it is due to inflamed joints or muscles in the spine or pelvis which. This may have resulted from an injury or functional adaption over time from repetitive sprains or strains to the spine, pelvis or hips.
Back pain can also be due to arthritis or disc injury in the spine which can cause swelling around the nerves which can cause back pain, leg pain (which can be a cause of sciatica), or numbness and tingling in the leg.
