BACK PAIN

It can be really frustrating (and painful) for you and your doctor, although you should be aware that the majority of back pain episodes will simply go away on their own (if you give yourself enough time off to rest). In fact, the department of health advise you to seek swift treatment for back pain in order to reduce its intensity and longevity.

PELVIC PAIN

Pelvic pain can be caused by a wide variety of conditions. Osteopaths can help with pain caused by trauma or repetitive strain. Muscles from the abdomen and lower limbs attach to the pelvis and overuse or over exertion of these regions can result in pelvic injury and pain.

HIP & GROIN PROBLEMS

Hip pain can be caused by a number of injuries or conditions. The most common cause of hip pain is inflamed tendons. Hip and groin pain can be related to a range of muscle or joint problems or it could be referred pain from your lower back.

KNEE PROBLEMS

Some people worry that their knee pain will result in the need for surgery. Often this is not the case. Knee trauma is common from falls and collisions.
