The How Osteopathic Clinic, Edinburgh - Osteopathy and Back Pain

One of the most common conditions treated by osteopath Helen How at the How Osteopathic Clinic is back pain and lower back pain. Back pain is one of the most common complaints in Britain today and it is estimated that four out of five people will suffer from it at some point in their lives. Causes of back pain are varied, but in the majority of cases the causes are linked to the way in which the bones, muscles and ligaments in the back work together.

The emphasis on the role of the musculoskeletal system in maintaining wellbeing means that osteopathy is extremely effective in treating back pain.  Problems in the back and pressure on specific nerve roots can disturb the functioning of the body, causing pain and discomfort throughout the entire body.   

The holistic approach to osteopathic treatment at the How Osteopathic Clinic ensures that each patient is viewed as an individual and treatment may use a range of osteopathic techniques designed to correct and realign the mechanical structure and to enable the body to stimulate it's own healing processes.

For more information about ways in which the How Osteopathic Clinic can assist in the treatment of back pain or to arrange an appointment, please contact The How Osteopathic Clinic by email or contact Helen How by telephone on 0131 551 1044.
