Back Pain Treatment
Back pain is the top reason people visit osteopaths. Four out of five people experience upper or lower back pain at some point in their lives. The good news is we can treat most cases effectively, especially when caught early.
Back pain can develop slowly over time or happen suddenly from an injury or trauma. It can be very distressing when it stops you working, exercising, or doing daily activities.
Cameron-Mitchell Osteopaths are back pain specialists. We’ll explain what’s causing your pain, give you a clear diagnosis, and create a treatment plan with self-care advice.
Common Neck and Back Pain Complaints:
- Muscle spasm and tightness
- Disc problems and strains
- Joint problems and arthritis
- Scoliosis-related pain
- Sciatica and nerve pain
- Acute and chronic lower back pain
- Sports injuries
- Piriformis syndrome
- Sacroiliac joint pain
What your pain feels like
Lower back pain can be sharp and limiting, or dull and aching. Severe muscle spasms might force you into awkward positions. Pain often spreads to your groin, buttocks, legs, and feet because nerves from these areas start in your lower back. Back pain can also disturb your sleep and make it hard to find comfortable positions.
How We Treat Back Pain
We start by asking you to do simple movements, then examine your spine and test the nerves to your legs. We perform standard tests for your spine, pelvis, and hips to confirm our diagnosis. Sometimes we may refer you for further tests or scans.
Our osteopathic treatment includes massage, stretching, and manipulation techniques. For acute or long-term pain, we might use dry needling. We’ll also give you exercises to do at home between sessions.
Our osteopaths use gentle, effective methods to reduce your pain and restore normal movement. We focus on treating the cause, not just the symptoms, to prevent future problems.

I first saw Duncan, two years ago, when I had a very painful shoulder and had to work at an event where I would be using my arms and shoulders all the time. Duncan treated me and managed to get me through the event which was nothing short of a miracle. Since then both my father and my brother-in-law have also become patients of Duncan and found his services to be exceptional. Duncan is both friendly and entirely professional and I would be happy to recommend his services to anyone.
I had two sessions with Duncan which were incredibly beneficial and helped to ease my lower back pain. I found Duncan to be professional and informative and you can tell he really cares about what he practices. I highly recommend his practice for anybody who’s experiencing pain!
I was suffering with a combination of shoulder, back and knee issues which Duncan got to grips with, alleviating the discomfort and leaving me feeling reinvigorated and refreshed. I’d definitely recommend giving him a go. I found the treatment more effective than some acupuncture and physiotherapy i’d had in the past.
