  • You can consult an osteopath. Lower back pain is a common reason to seek osteopathic care, but it can have many different causes. That’s why it’s important to fully understand the nature of your pain.
    As a certified osteopath, I begin with a thorough assessment to identify the source of your discomfort. This includes a detailed history and clinical examination, allowing me to tailor the most appropriate treatment for your specific needs.
    Every person experiences pain differently, and the approach to care should reflect that. Seeking professional help can provide relief and improve your overall well-being. Take care!

  • Hello,

    Lower back pain can have various causes, ranging from muscle tension to joint or postural issues. A good first step would be to consult a general practitioner, who can assess your condition and, if necessary, refer you to a specialist such as an orthopedist or rheumatologist.
