Neck pain can really impact daily life. Twinges on small movements are more than just annoying, and stiffness can impact driving safety. Luckily, your osteopath can help.

Long Covid

Management strategies for Long Covid are still emerging, but they appear to be multi-disciplinary (NICE guidelines Nov. 2021). Returning to activity after Covid can be a slow process. The combination of fatigue and breathlessness can be very limiting. Despite frustration, it’s important to take it slow.

Sciatica

Sciatica is a specific kind of leg pain. It is only caused by the sciatic nerve, and so it can only be felt along the route of the nerve. That is from the buttock, into the back of the thigh, and down the back and front of the calf.

Chronic Pain

When pain remains after 3-6 months, we consider it to be chronic. Your osteopath’s job is to help you unpick the factors that led to it.

Tension

Stress is almost synonymous with muscle tension, often around the shoulders and neck. We can’t solve your stress, but we can certainly look at your secondary symptoms.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis is commonly simply known as “arthritis”. We might think of it as “wear and tear”, but it’s also capable of “repair”. Despite popular belief, it’s not something you just have to tolerate.

Lower Back Pain

One of the most common complaints patients see osteopaths for is lower back pain. There are a number of potential causes that are not serious or dangerous to you beyond the pain.
