About Back Pain

Back problems account for 50% of the cases osteopaths see. Trouble with your back does not simply give pain in the back. It can and often is the cause of more remote symptoms like pain in the buttocks, groin or legs (sciatica). This is often brought about by pressure from a spinal disc on specific nerve roots. Osteopathic treatment and active rehabilitation can be much more effective than the old fashion approach of pain killers and bed rest.
