Back pain

Back pain is a common problem. It affects over 80% of adults and can be caused by muscular tension, poor posture, or injury.

Osteopathic treatment is one way to help reduce back pain. Osteopaths use their hands to assess your musculoskeletal system, looking at how the bones and soft tissues are connected. They also pay attention to how your nervous system functions in relation to these structures and how they work together. This helps them identify problems that might be contributing to your back pain.

Jaw pain

Jaw pain can be caused by TMJ, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction. TMJ is a disorder of the jaw joint and is often related to stress and anxiety. Osteopaths are trained to treat TMJ by identifying and addressing the underlying cause of your symptoms, rather than simply masking them with medication.

Migraines

Migraines are a type of headache that can cause pain, nausea, and sensitivity to light and sound. They can be triggered by stress, hormonal changes, or certain foods. Migraines are often treated with medication (triptans) or therapy; in some cases, they may also require osteopathic treatment.

Osteopathy offers a holistic approach to care that has been shown to be effective in reducing migraine frequency as well as other chronic conditions such as back pain and arthritis.
