So, when do you know if you need to see an osteopath or physiotherapist?
Sitting at the Desk 8+ Hours a Day
There’s a saying that “Sitting is the New Smoking.” But, since anyone has yet to deny or confirm that statement, we agree that sitting for long periods is associated with many postural adaptations which can lead to painful backs and necks, plus the lack of mobility can lead to a further health problem such as cardiac, diabetes and digestive problems.
Many people experience pain relating to their jobs in front of computer screens or at desks. Osteopathy and Therapy in Gosforth will help you treat conditions and, more importantly, introduce some home maintenance suggestions to help reduce your pain levels.
You Have Frequent Neck Pain
Pain in the neck can really affect your ability to concentrate, move and safely perform activities such as driving and sometimes lead to headaches, shoulders problems, and nerve impingements. Pain can be chronic or acute, and we can help treat both. We will identify restrictions and tension by assessing the tissues and structures which may be causing your neck pain and give you advice around postural adaptations, which will help prevent further episodes.
Struggling with Lower Back pain
Lower back pain is relatively frequent, and one of the main reasons people visit to see us. Again, a result of poor posture, not using our bodies properly, and wear and tear from our lifetimes. There may also be sciatica – a nerve impingement syndrome causing pain, changes to sensation, or weakness in your leg and foot. These are all things that can be helped with hands-on treatment and home exercise plans.
Sporting Injuries
You can consult a physiotherapist if you have sporting injuries such as ankle sprains, rotator cuff issues, tennis elbow, and acute knee pain. We devise our treatment plans with your individual goals and needs in mind.
Suffering from Headaches or Migraine
There is evidence to support the assessment and treatment of some headache and migraine disorders through manual therapy. This is because a high proportion (around 80%) of these conditions come from issues within the muscles, joints, discs, or nerves in the neck and shoulders. We get a good outcome from people whose headaches or migraines originate from these structures.
