Back & Neck Pain

Osteopathy helps with back and neck pain by using a hands-on, holistic approach to improve the function of the musculoskeletal system. Here’s how it can help:

  • Manual Therapy Techniques: Osteopaths use techniques like stretching, gentle pressure, and joint manipulation to relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and reduce pain.
  • Postural Assessment: They assess posture and alignment, identifying imbalances or strain patterns that may be contributing to the pain.
  • Improved Circulation and Lymphatic Flow: Osteopathic manipulations can enhance blood and lymph flow, which supports healing and reduces inflammation in the affected areas.
  • Muscle Balance and Joint Function: By targeting restrictions or weaknesses, osteopathy aims to restore balance to the muscles and joints, improving overall movement and reducing strain on the spine.
  • Lifestyle and Exercise Advice: Osteopaths often provide guidance on posture, ergonomics, and exercises to prevent future issues and support recovery.

Clinical evidence supports its effectiveness for certain types of mechanical lower back and neck pain, although results can vary from person to person.
