Low back pain is the most common presentation at the clinic.
Chronic’ is defined as pain which is experienced for 3 months or more. Patients living with chronic back pain have often experienced symptoms over several years before seeking help. For this patient, the corrosive effect of longterm pain can create a fear of movement/exercise ‘because this could make things worse.’ Part of our role as osteopaths is to talk to patients about their pain, help them to understand why it is happening, look at different ways to improve their pain and provide hands on treatment. This includes increasing patient confidence in physical exercise and specific mobility exercises.
