Are you looking for the best treatment for your chronic back pain? It’s time to stop ignoring this unbearable symptom and visit an osteopath for proper treatment. Utilising the science AND art of osteopathy in back pain management is becoming increasingly popular. Even those who typically seek chiropractic services now lean towards osteopathy for effective and quick  pain relief.

How can osteopathy treat back pain issues?

In essence, osteopathy is a discipline that focuses on the detection, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of joints, soft tissues, and muscle conditions with the use of massage therapy, stretching exercises, mobilisation, and movement techniques. It is considered an alternative or complementary medical discipline and is included as part of more comprehensive treatment.

Osteopath exercise for lower back pain has been proven to be effective in that it specifically treats the problem at hand. The manual therapy involves proper alignment of the musculoskeletal system resulting in immediate healing from injury or trauma. It is a non-invasive, drug-free therapy that has minimal side effects, so you can resume doing activities you were accustomed to prior to back pain symptoms.
