  • 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.

    However, physiotherapy can also be an excellent option to relieve pain and address the root cause of the problem. Through a specific assessment, we can identify potential imbalances and work on mobility, strengthening, and tension relief.

  • You have two options :

    1. You first consult your general practitioner who will discuss with you the next step after clinical examination.
    2. You can directly consult a specialist (physicist or neurologist).

    hoping this has given you sufficient information, I wish you a pleasant day ahead.

  • Hello,
    If you have lower back pain, the type of doctor you should see depends on the severity and nature of the pain... you can start with a general doctor who can assess your symptoms, provide initial treatment, and refer you to a specialist if needed.
    An osteopath can help by focusing on your musculoskeletal system and offering hands-on techniques to relieve pain and improve mobility. Often, going to see a physical therapist is complementary to
    guide you through exercises to strengthen your back and prevent further issues.
    Hope that helps,

    2. Orthopedic Specialist: If the pain is related to the spine, joints, or muscles, an orthopedic doctor can evaluate and treat conditions like herniated discs, arthritis, or injuries.
