What is causing my back pain?
There are many different variations of back pain and many back pain can be caused in many different ways. Here at Dynamic Osteopaths in Edgbaston we see many different variations of back pain, all of which are treated in different ways to reduce pain and to restore optimal function.
1) non-specific low back pain
Often as a result of poor posture or bad habits.
2) spine arthritis
This as a result of age related degenerative chnages. This is often brought on from progressive degeneration to the vertebral discs and joints. As we age, joints and soft tissues cannot deal with added stresses and strains and therefore as prone to irritation.
3) sciatica.
Sciatica is a term which refers to a spinal nerves becoming irritated, which can give symptoms into the leg. Sciatica is often brought on in 2 common forms – 1) acute trauma - resulting in disc prolapse into the nerve, and/or 2) advanced spinal disc degeneration and consequently bone growth into an exiting nerve root.
4) sacroiliac joint pain
The sacroiliac joint is the joint between the spine and the pelvis which allows and transmits forces between the two structures. Occasionally, like any of a joint, this can become irritated and inflamed.
All of the conditions above are very common but can be treated easily with the correct treatment and advice. Surgery should be a last resort, when symptoms are to far gone. Or, when red flags are shown, like incontinence.
Here at Dynamic Osteopaths in Edgbaston it is our aim to find out the root cause of why and how your back pain has developed in the first place. We use hands-on treatment and our osteopathic skilled aimed at restoring spinal mobility and function - to take pressure off irritated and inflamed tissues. This then allows joints and soft tissues to self repair and heal. At the same time as manual hands-on techniques commonly used in osteopathic treatment, we will incorporate physical rehabilitation therapy like strengthening exercises to restore functional mobility.
