Back Pain

Osteopathy for Back Pain Relief
Helping You Move More Comfortably and Live with Less Pain
Back pain—often called backache—is one of the most common reasons people seek treatment. It’s estimated that up to 80% of people will experience back pain at some point during their lives. In the UK, back pain leads to millions of lost working days every year.
Back pain can affect people of all ages. It may develop suddenly after an awkward movement or injury, or build up gradually over time. Activities such as lifting, poor posture, or sitting for long periods often contribute. Sometimes, no clear cause can be identified.
