You’re not the only one who experiences back pain or a sore back. No matter the age or level of fitness, the majority of people will have back pain at some point in their lives. Poor function or movement is a major contributing factor in many cases of acute upper and lower back pain. Many muscular or soft tissue disorders can be resolved within a few weeks with the appropriate treatment, such as osteopathy, and a few lifestyle changes.

Anyone who has experienced back pain knows how it affects both your body and mind. It could seriously ruin your day. Your spine is made up of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. It has a flexible and complex structure. It supports the majority of your weight and is crucial in safeguarding the circulatory and neural systems that flow down your spinal cord.

Chronic pain can also be caused by wear and tear, especially as we get older. You need to take care of your back and spine, no matter your age. Your spine will be better able to withstand the daily stress you put on it and less prone to acute and chronic back pain issues if you maintain its strength and flexibility. 

Common Back Pain Conditions Addressed with Osteopathy.

Osteopathy is effective in reducing lower back pain, commonly known as lumbago, which is typically caused by strained muscles or ligaments. Many people spend a lot of time sitting down, whether at their workplaces or in their cars, and bad posture over time will result in back pain. Patients who experience sciatic nerve pain or piriformis muscle tension that could impact the nearby sciatic nerve find relief with osteopathy.

Patients who have pain or discomfort due to non-surgical scoliosis, also known as spinal curvature, can benefit from osteopathy. Another problem that can be addressed with osteopathy is kyphosis. Osteoporosis and degenerative diseases such as spinal arthritis, disc degeneration, and vertebral fractures can all contribute to this condition. Osteopathy, together with complementary lifestyle factors, is a crucial part of spinal health maintenance for many patients with chronic illnesses.
