At Bone and Joint Center of Leicester OsteoLab, we appreciate the pain that a person experiencing back pain and the annoyance that back pain can be. We provide various osteopathic treatment procedures aimed at alleviating the patient’s pain and enabling you to return to normal activities.

Osteopathy is a manual therapy but it is a lot more than just that. It is every endpoint in the person’s health. Osteopaths are trained to examine whether chronic postural pain is related with musculoskeletal imbalances. These include osteopathic treatment as an approach to back pain towards the generic causes of back pain. Osteopathy treats the underlying problem instead of the symptoms one perceives from the body Pain suppressive painkillers do not focus on identifying the source of the pain. They only focus on how to ease the pain for the time being.

• Cures Self, Rather Than Masks: Painkillers, as the name suggests, block out pain, but osteopathy tries to find out what actually causes your back pain. This could be a muscle sprain, a joint dysfunction, poor posture, or even tension.
• Relaxing and Efficient: The techniques comprising osteopathy are usually quite delicate and do not employ any invasiveness. A variety of manual management techniques such as massage, stretching and mobilization will be used to restore your range of motion and alleviate the pain.
• Natural and Safe: Most people will benefit from osteopathy for their back pain. It can be performed on individuals with different ages and varying levels of physical activities.
• Benefits in the long run: After a course of osteopathy, it is possible to reverse the tendency to develop back pain in the future through improving posture, working the abdominal muscles, and enhancing one’s flexibility.

A number of conditions associated with back pain are known to respond to osteopathy. For instance: 

• Lower back pain: This is caused by a region where there is mostly upper body weight leading to its status as the most supported area. Some of its causing diseases can be herniated vertebral discs, muscular liaisons or any arthritic joints
• Upper back pain: Upper back pain may occur due to slouching lots, repetitive strain injuries or stress.
• Sciatica: This is a sudden acute pain that usually occurs over the back of the thigh down the leg. It is commonly due to a nerve being pressed in the lower back region.
• Neck pain: Neck pain is often accompanied with some back problems.
• Postural problems: Adopting the wrong stance is a huge risk to your back. Such a scenario would lead to pain.
