Don’t be another statistic
In Australia 80% of the population will suffer from back pain in their lives. Common causes of back pain include:
- Extensive sitting or standing
- Heavy lifting
- Injury
- Pregnancy
- Constipation, irritable bowel syndrome
- Hormonal imbalances – menstrual pain, endometriosis
- Muscle weakness
- Spinal dysfunction / congenital condition
If you suffer from lower back pain, osteopathy, physiotherapy, massage and naturopathy may help.
Osteopathy may employ gentle manual techniques to manipulate the joints, muscles, ligaments and fascia of the spine and other parts of the body. This can restore mobility, reduce inflammation, enhance blood flow and promote healing.
Physiotherapists can design a personalized program of exercises and stretches to strengthen your core muscles, improve your posture and flexibility, and prevent further damage to your lower back.
Massage can help relax tense muscles, ease spasms, increase circulation and release endorphins, which are natural painkillers. Massage can also reduce stress and anxiety, which can contribute to lower back pain.
Naturopathy can help address inflammation and pain via dietary and lifestyle changes to support healthy function. Where hormonal factors may be present, naturopathy may help to restore balance.
