Treating Spinal Pain
Treating spinal pain will depend on your particular symptoms. A full assessment will always be carried out before we start treatment. During your assessment, you’ll be asked about your medical history and the details of your current injury.
Spinal pain relief can be achieved with a range of manual therapies including osteopathy, chiropractic, physiotherapy or massage. Our practitioners will use hands-on methods including joint mobilisation, deep tissue massage, soft tissue stretching and deep tissue release to treat your pain.
They may also provide advice on posture, lifestyle, workstation set-up and exercise to help prevent further or recurring injury.
If the problem is severe, our practitioners may refer you to a consultant for further investigation.
