How Osteopaths Help with Back Pain?

Getting relief can be easier than you think

Back pain is becoming a common problem that can significantly hinder your daily activities and disrupt sleep. ​Especially since most of us are working from home now, sitting more in uncomfortable chairs/sofas and and exercising less. This can be coupled with neck and shoulder pain or headaches, particularly if one is using a computer. However, back pain has many causes and it is important to identify which to get the right kind of help.

What to do depends on what the cause is and that is why it is important to seek professional help. Some general advice includes:

​

  • Do not continue exercise or lift anything heavy as this may make things worse

  • Avoid prolonged sitting and get up for regular breaks if you do have to sit prolonged

  • Adjust your desk ergonomics, there are plenty of resources online to do so

  • Consult a specialist, such as an Osteopath, to diagnose the problem and make sure you get the right treatment and advice.
