Treatment: General, acute and chronic low back pain
Low back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek osteopathic care. At our OSC Norwich, we help patients manage acute, chronic, and recurring back pain through hands‑on treatment and targeted rehabilitation.
Osteopathy can reduce muscular tension, improve spinal mobility, ease nerve irritation, and support long‑term recovery. We assess posture, movement patterns, lifestyle factors, and training habits to identify the root cause of your pain.
Treatment may include soft‑tissue work, joint mobilisation, manipulation (when appropriate), exercise prescription, and strength‑and‑conditioning guidance. Our goal is to help you move confidently, reduce flare‑ups, and return to the activities you enjoy.
