​If you're experiencing back pain—whether it's acute, chronic, or recurring—consulting an osteopath can be a proactive step toward relief and long-term recovery. Osteopaths specialise in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions using hands-on techniques that address not only symptoms but also underlying causes.

When to See an Osteopath for Back Pain

You should consider seeing an osteopath if you experience:​

• Persistent or recurring lower back pain that doesn't improve with rest or over-the-counter remedies.

• Pain related to posture, work, or pregnancy, such as discomfort from prolonged sitting or physical strain.

• Muscle tension, stiffness, or reduced mobility that interferes with daily activities.

• Sciatica or nerve-related symptoms, including tingling, numbness, or shooting pain down the legs.

• A desire to prevent future flare-ups by addressing biomechanical imbalances or lifestyle factors.​

Osteopaths use a holistic approach, combining manual therapy (like massage, stretching, and joint mobilisation) with advice on posture, movement, and lifestyle adjustments to support your recovery and overall well-being.
