Back and neck pain accounts for the most common problems we treat. There is a complex array of joints, nerves, ligaments and muscles in and around the spine which may be the cause of pain and symptoms. However, some diseases and pathologies may also cause back and neck pain. Through your osteopathic consultation and assessment, your osteopath will determine the underlying cause of your pain.  If required and with your consent, it may be necessary to refer you for further tests and investigations.
