What’s the best way to ease back or neck pain in Bristol?

At my Westbury Park osteopathy clinic I’m most commonly asked what’s the best way to ease back or neck pain in Bristol.

Patients usually come to me with pain in specific area of their body. Back and neck pain form a consistently high percentage of patient visits.

As an osteopath in Bristol I offer a holistic (whole body) service. Although I treat the whole body, many of my patients require specific back and neck treatment.

The first question I ask during a patient consultation is where their pain is, although this might not be the actual site/cause of the problem. A thorough case history and professional examination is then required with each patient to determine where the problem(s) reside.

It is very common for pain to refer to other areas of the body. Many patients hold stress and pain in certain parts of the body, the back and neck being common ones.

There is no ‘one size fits all’ approach when it comes to easing back or neck pain, as all of my patients have different lifestyles, occupations, hobbies, and their bodies are all put under unique stresses and strains as a result.

At my central Bristol osteopathic clinic, I aim to approach each patient in an individual and holistic way.

Back or neck pain can also range from an irritating ache to acute pain. The consultation process is critical in determining the level of pain and severity of the problem. A patient’s previous medical history, and specifically any previous evidence of back and neck pain, are also really important.

With the right osteopathic management, the body will get better. A good osteopath in Bristol won’t make a definitive statement that back or neck pain can be ‘cured’ as such.

Through appropriate treatment, ongoing osteopathic support, good advice and exercises, the body can then go through a process of self-healing, allowing a patient to get back to living and enjoying their life pain free.

If you have back or neck pain or know someone suffering with back or neck pain, the first step is to book in to get a full consultation with an experienced Bristol osteopath, so that a full investigation can determine what’s happening and what can be done for you.
