Spinal problems

The majority of people who consult us are suffering from pain in their low back or neck
and may have related pain in one or more of their limbs. The incidence of spinal pain
has become dramatically more frequent in recent decades and many people experience
recurrent episodes. Often osteopathic treatment reduces the frequency of these episodes
or even stops them. With advice on appropriate exercise and care most people can
improve their own back.

People who have received osteopathic treatment from this practice tell us that they have received symptom relief from a variety of problems.

Commonly seen problems include:

• Slipped or injured discs
• Strained spinal muscles, joints or ligaments
• Headaches related to neck problems.
• 'Trapped nerves' causing leg or arm symptoms
• Sciatica

Limb problems

• Frozen shoulder
• Tendinitis around the shoulder or wrist, often called repetitive strain injury
• Tennis elbow
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Wrist strain
• Cartilage problems in the knee
• Early to moderate osteo-arthritis of hip or knee
