Understand Back and Neck Pain and Osteopathic Benefits

Nearly all back pain is either caused by, or directly linked to, a compression of the spine. The spine is shortened from its natural length, which causes pain because of the new pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding skeletal system.

Osteopathy is able to relieve stiffness caused by facet joints unable to move freely between vertebrae using rhythmic and direct therapy practices.

Although Peter (Frankston Osteopath) does use manipulation selectively, he has found that often "cracking the joints" is not required in treatment. Experience has shown gentler techniques can make more of a difference in achieving longer lasting pain relief. That's right, he does not have to crack anything to get rid of your pain!
