Lower Back Pain Treatment in East Grinstead | Osteopathic Relief That Works

Lower Back Pain Treatment in East Grinstead

Trusted osteopathic care for back pain relief and recovery

Lower back pain is one of the most common reasons people seek help—and it can range from mild stiffness to debilitating discomfort. At our East Grinstead osteopathy clinic, we provide hands-on, personalised treatment to relieve pain, improve mobility, and prevent flare-ups.

What Causes Lower Back Pain?

Back pain can develop suddenly or gradually, and it often stems from multiple factors. Common causes include:

  • Muscle or ligament strain

  • Herniated or bulging discs

  • Poor posture or prolonged sitting

  • Spinal joint dysfunction or stiffness

  • Arthritis or age-related changes

  • Referred pain from the pelvis or hips

Your osteopath will assess your entire body—not just the area of pain—to find and treat the underlying cause.

Red Flags to Be Aware Of

Most lower back pain is mechanical and treatable. However, some symptoms may need urgent medical attention. Seek help immediately if you notice:

  • Loss of bladder or bowel control

  • Numbness or weakness in the legs

  • Severe pain after trauma or a fall

  • Back pain with fever or unexplained weight loss

  • Pain that doesn’t improve with rest or worsens at night

These could indicate more serious issues like nerve compression, fracture, or infection.

How Osteopathy Helps Lower Back Pain

Osteopathic treatment focuses on restoring movement, relieving tension, and supporting the body’s natural healing. At our East Grinstead clinic, we may use:

  • Spinal joint mobilisation and manipulation

  • Soft tissue techniques to release tight muscles

  • Postural and ergonomic advice

  • Targeted exercises for strength and flexibility

  • Guidance to reduce re-injury risk

We also coordinate with GPs or refer for imaging if further investigation is needed.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your initial session includes a thorough consultation, physical assessment, and your first treatment (if appropriate). We’ll explain what’s going on and map out a clear plan tailored to your needs.
