Why do you get pain?
Back pain does not simply mean that pain is localised to the back. Often the root cause can send pain to your buttocks legs and groin consequentially having far more remote distribution of symptoms. The commonly known "Sciatica Symptoms” reacts this way, with the nature of pain radiating from the lower back into legs bought on by pressure on nerves from the spine. Osteopaths are skilled in helping to correct the root of pain and help towards being pain free and mobile.

The first sign of pain is a warning signal "alarm bells" from the bodies own defence system which will alert you, that the problem needs attention.The severity and the intensity with the distribution of pain pattern,are all part of the warning signal.
