Back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help from an osteopath. Whether your pain has come on suddenly, developed gradually, or keeps returning, getting the right assessment and treatment can help you move more comfortably and get back to your normal activities.
At Osteopathy and Therapy in Low Fell, Gateshead, our osteopaths assess your individual symptoms, movement and lifestyle to understand what may be contributing to your back pain. Treatment may include hands-on techniques, advice and exercises designed around your needs.
What can cause back pain?
Back pain can have many causes, including muscle and joint problems, changes in activity, prolonged sitting, work-related strain, sports injuries or simply doing something your body isn’t used to. Sometimes there isn’t one obvious cause.
An osteopathic assessment can help identify areas of stiffness, tension or restricted movement that may be contributing to your symptoms.
How can an osteopath help?
Your treatment will be tailored to you and may include hands-on treatment alongside advice about movement, posture, exercise and managing your day-to-day activities. The aim isn’t simply to treat the painful area, but to help you understand your symptoms and develop strategies to improve your movement and reduce the likelihood of recurring problems.
If your back pain is affecting your work, exercise, sleep or everyday life, professional assessment can be a useful first step.

Here’s what one of our patients says:
I went to see Claire at Osteopath and Therapy as my lower back was hurting and this was having a knock on effect on the rest of my body. I am a hairdresser so I’m on my feet all day and have had back problems most of my life. Claire was fantastic- her in-depth consultation was very thorough and even after the first visit I felt she had helped tremendously. I attended the clinic for four consecutive weeks and this made a huge difference. I am now committed to going monthly to keep my body in better alignment. Claire is friendly, efficient and professional and I would definitely recommend seeing her with any body issues.
