The NICE guidelines (the National Institute for Clinical Excellence) recommend
manual therapies such as osteopathy for the treatment of low back pain.
Osteopathic treatment helps to ease backpain and backache throughout the spine
by restoring movement to each joint and relaxing any abnormal muscle tension.
You may also have pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in your legs associtated
with your back pain. This should ease along with the back symptoms when we treat you .

On your first appointment we will:
a) start off by investigating the underlying causes of your symptoms through asking
about the history of your problems, assessing your posture, movements and your
reaction to some simple tests (such as reflexes)
b) explain to you the diagnosis reached and, with your consent, treat you based on
that diagnosis using a range of treatment techniques chosen to suit your
complaint and your body type
c) explain how quickly we expect you to feel better after this treatment, tell
you some simple do’s and don’ts, show you some exercises where necessary, advise you how many treatments we think your condition may need.
At the end of your appointment there is time to pay for your consultation and
book your next appointment if one is necessary.
In between appointments please ring or email us if you have any questions.
