Back Pain Treatment Mill Park

Symmetree Osteopathy provides exceptional care to Mill Park and surrounding areas.

Back pain can be crippling, impacting every part of your life from work to recreation and sports.

Osteopathy could be the key to relieving your back pain, helping you get back to the activities you enjoy. Osteopaths use hands-on techniques to treat the root cause of back pain without relying on medication or surgery.

Causes of Back Pain

Around 80% of people will experience back pain at some stage. Though most cases are not serious, back pain is a significant cause of discomfort and can interfere with daily activities.

Irritation or poor function of the bones, joints, ligaments, or muscles in your back is the main cause of most back pain. Vertebral dysfunction, where the spinal vertebrae compress nerves in the lower back, is a common culprit.

  • What is wrong and which muscles, joints or nerves are causing your pain
  • Why it has happened
  • What treatment you require
  • Provide you with a treatment plan with milestones to help measure your progress
  • Refer you for further investigation if required such as GP’s, X-Ray, Podiatrist etc.
  • How many sessions they think it will take to relieve the pain and resolve the problem
  • What you can do to speed your recovery
  • The things you must do to avoid prolonging or aggravating the injury
  • What can be done, through treatment and management, to ensure the problem does not re-occur

Treatment

Osteopathic treatment for back pain aims to restore movement to stiff spinal joints, reduce muscle tension, and improve muscle strength, leading to better mobility, less pain, and reduced nerve irritation.

Our treatments are customized to your specific case, often including spinal and soft tissue mobilization, core stabilization, strengthening exercises, stretching, and heat/cold therapy. Reach out to book a comprehensive lower back consultation and begin corrective care today!
