Back pain can affect anyone at any age, and can often be the result of a sprain or a strain of the structures of the back such as the muscles, ligaments, joints or damage to the discs. Osteoarthritis or wear and tear in the back can also be a reason, osteopaths are skilled at helping prevent back pain from becoming a chronic, long-term condition. The foot and ankle is made up of a number of small bones interconnected by ligaments, muscles and fascia all working together to give the strength, stability and flexibility the foot and ankle needs to function properly. Pain occurring in the hand can sometimes be relieved by the gentle manual treatment of osteopaths depending on the cause. Osteoarthritis or wear and tear in the joints of the hand and the elbow may be the cause of your symptoms and may benefit from treatment and advice from an osteopath.
Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the musculoskeletal system, (better known as your body’s skeleton) and joint functions along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs. To an osteopath, for your body to work well, its structure must also work well. So osteopaths work to restore your body to a state of balance, where possible without the use of drugs or surgery.
