10 Oct Can Osteopathy Help with Lower Back Pain?
Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic treatment — and for good reason. Whether it’s a dull ache after a long day or sharp discomfort that limits your movement, lower back pain can affect every aspect of your life. At Brookmans Park Osteopaths in Hertfordshire, we’re here to help you move more freely and feel more comfortable again.
What Causes Lower Back Pain?
There are many reasons you might develop pain or stiffness in your lower back. Common causes include:
- Poor posture, especially from long hours at a desk
- Muscle tension or strain after lifting or twisting
- Minor joint irritation or inflammation
- Underlying conditions such as arthritis or sciatica
Sometimes, the cause isn’t one single factor — it’s a combination of lifestyle habits, stress, and how your body moves day to day.
How Can Osteopathy Help?
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to healthcare that focuses on how your bones, muscles, and joints work together. Your osteopath will assess your body as a whole, looking for areas of imbalance or restriction that might be contributing to your back pain.
Treatment may include:
- Gentle stretching and mobilisation techniques
- Soft tissue massage to release tension
- Advice on posture, movement, and exercises
At Brookmans Park Osteopaths, we tailor every treatment plan to your individual needs. Our goal is to not only ease your current pain but also to help prevent it from coming back.
What to Expect from Your Appointment
During your first visit, your osteopath will take time to understand your health history and listen to your concerns. After a physical examination, we’ll explain what’s likely causing your discomfort and how we can help. Most people notice improved mobility and a reduction in pain within a few sessions.
