Back Pain Eastbourne

If you are suffering with back pain or neck pain, it is understandable that even everyday life can be made harder. Osteopathy is a natural solution which relieves muscle tension and provides pain relief. Our professional osteopathy clinic is here to help restore muscle elasticity and ease your back pain.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and treatment which is used to medicate a wide range of medical conditions. These include back pain, neck pain and arthritis. Osteopathic treatment includes a gentle range of manual techniques including stretching, manipulation and soft tissue. It increases mobility to spinal and peripheral joints, relieves muscle tension and increases blood supply to tissues. 

This, then helps reduce the body's inflammatory responses therefore reducing the pain. We can also provide advice on additional techniques to prevent symptoms such as lifestyle changes, posture modification and recommended exercises.

What happens at your first consultation?

Your first consultation will last around 30 minutes. One of the first things we will do is discuss your medical details and history in order to determine your symptoms. Receiving your medical background gives the practitioner more information and the knowledge of whether a GP referral is appropriate. Then we will examine all relevant joints and treatment will be included within your first session.

Treatment is not usually painful - it aims to reduce muscle spasms, inflammation and ultimately pain. The most commonly used techniques are:

Articulation - A series of gentle joint movements

Soft tissue - Applying light to firm pressure on muscle tissues

Manipulation - This is often accompanied by a clicking sound. This technique will only be used if the patient is happy.
