Back Pain

What causes back pain? 
There are many factors involved in chronic neck and back pain but they broadly fall into two categories: mechanical (posture, spinal dysfunction, joint and muscle health, leg length inequality, hypomobility) and habitual (sitting for long periods, computer and phone use, lifestyle, work, exercise, sleep). 
What is the best therapy for back pain? 
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommends osteopathy and spinal manipulation for the treatment of lower back pain and sciatica.
