Lower Back Pain and Sciatica
Lower back pain and sciatica are two of the most prevalent musculoskeletal ailments that patients often bring to Mixed Osteopaths for treatment. Lower back pain is one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal problems, according to research, and the majority of the general public will feel it at some point during their lives.
People and athletes with back difficulties, lower back problems, and sciatica visit our Kensington clinic, which is conveniently located near the Kensington train station. Workplace injuries can be caused by sedentary (desk-based) or physical (manual handling) jobs, as well as by those who are physically active or participate in sporting activities. Back discomfort and lower back pain are particularly frequent in combat sports (MMA/BJJ) because of the nature of the activity and the requirements of the sport, which can place the back in potentially dangerous postures.
In most cases, musculoskeletal issues such as back pain and lower back pain are to blame, and are often caused by problems with the joints, ligaments, or soft tissue muscles around the spine.
It is common for most people to have a significant improvement in their back pain and lower back pain between 0-6 weeks, with some cases lasting significantly longer (6+ weeks).
When you present to the clinic with acute back pain or lower back pain, the role of the allied health practitioner (osteopath, physiotherapist, chiropractor, myotherapist) is to examine you, give you with treatment and management guidance, and provide you with reassurance about your condition. Manual therapy, movement therapy, exercise prescription, pain management, and training counselling, among other things, may be used in the treatment and management of your ailment in order to avoid further aggravation or reduce recurrences of your complaint.
Common Lower back pain complaints can include:
Muscle strains
Ligament strains
