Back ache affects up to 80% of people at some point in their lives. It can range from a dull, constant ache to a sharp, sudden pain that makes moving difficult.
Treated at Sherbourne House, Montmorency, serving Eltham, Greensborough, Bundoora and the Diamond Valley since 1995.
Back pain is often caused by poor posture, muscle strain, disc problems, joint stiffness or referred pain from elsewhere in the spine. In many cases, the pain is not coming from where it hurts. There is a structural imbalance somewhere in the body that is putting undue load on the lower back.
Osteopathy is one of the most effective approaches to back pain because it treats the whole musculoskeletal system rather than just the painful area. Our practitioners use hands-on techniques to release tight muscles, mobilise restricted joints and restore proper alignment, giving your body what it needs to heal.
