OSTEOPATHY + BACK PAIN

At Nourish we believe that your back pain doesn’t have to be a life long sentence. We are here to help you heal, naturally.

Low back pain has a variety of causes, from bending over and twisting, carrying something heavy, stress, sitting too much and so many other factors that are too many to list here.

At Nourish, our goal is to find the root cause of your complaint. We do this by asking questions and gaining a full understanding of what your body has been through to get you to this point of pain and dysfunction. We then use our hands to examine what is going on with your body structurally. We pay particular attention to alignment and the health of the tissues holding your back up. Once we have an idea of all aspects of the body that are impacting the health and range of motion of your back we use a variety of osteopathic techniques to address alignment and improve blood flow and nerve supply to the areas of the body that are causing your low back pain.

Low back pain, or back paining general may seem like it is a direct result of an issue with your back, however often the back is compensating for another area that is not in balance, resulting in back pain that needs to be addressed by treating the alignment of the back and the hips and pelvis.

While osteopathy works on the structure, it is important to note that pain is not always just structural, sometimes stress and emotions get stuck in the body and can cause disharmony in the systems of the body resulting in pain. If you think this might be the case of your low back pain, we are here to help. Osteopathic treatment works on the many layers on the body that inform the structure as well as the nervous system. Balancing the nervous system to a neutral state allows for ease of emotions and stress to move through the body rather than get caught and stuck in the tissues resulting in pain.

If you have more questions please reach out. We are here to help you be free of back pain and learn the lessons needed to completely resolve you problem.
