Many people in France suffer from back pain or neck pain. Indeed, it is a recurring problem that many French people experience. Very often, these people decide to treat their pain by taking medication to relieve it. However, this is rarely a long-term solution. This is why more and more people are turning to alternative medicines such as osteopathy. Today, the osteopath Antonino Mercuri explains how osteopathy can be an effective solution for back pain.
The aim of osteopathy
Muscle or joint pain can often be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs. However, they can also be relieved with osteopathy. Indeed, an osteopath is able to relieve many pains related to muscles or certain joints. Osteopathy is generally recognized as a medicine in which manipulations are carried out gently but can have a positive impact on the health of patients in the long term. Thus, it is suitable for many types of pain.
Consult an osteopath for back pain
A majority of patients who visit an osteopath go there because of back pain that interferes with their daily life or work. In this case, the osteopath will try to identify the tensions in order to alleviate them. He will then proceed to different manipulations based on different techniques, perfectly adapted to a back pain. He can manipulate the painful areas, but he can also act at a distance from the points of pain as if he were manipulating a lower limb. In addition, following the manipulation, which lasts an average of about forty minutes, the osteopath can suggest exercises to be reproduced on a daily basis. His accompaniment is therefore both immediate and long-lasting in order to completely erase all back pain.
For which back pain is the osteopath particularly recommended?
In general, osteopathy can be beneficial for many different types of pain. However, when it comes to back pain, osteopathy can be particularly recommended, especially in cases of lumbago or torticollis. In fact, an osteopathy session will enable the vertebra to be manipulated and thus correct its dysfunction. Moreover, for pain related to back pain, it is often relieved by osteopathy. The same is true for pain related to osteoarthritis, osteopathy is able to relieve pain located in the back.
Ultimately, many back pains can be treated by one or more osteopathic sessions, even those generated by stress.
