Lower back pain is a problem that affects so many people around the world. As an osteopath working in London, England, lower back pain is one of the most common problems I treat.
The problem with lower back pain is that there are so many causes, it can sometimes be hard to diagnose. This is why it can take so long for patients to be seen by their doctor and get to a good diagnosis.
Most of the time patients are sent away with a prescription for pain medication and are told to come back if the problem gets worse.
There’s a reason this happens.
First of all, doctors have such little time available to them that they have to decide in only a few minutes if they think your pain is serious and worth referring you elsewhere, or if it is likely to be musculoskeletal and therefore not serious, in which case they will send you home with pain medication.
The thing with back pain though (particularly the type of back pain I see) is that most of the time it can get better if the patient does the required steps to get themselves better. The problem here is that many patients don’t get given the advice they need, or they don't follow it.
After 12 years of clinical practice as an osteopath in London, England, I have seen what is needed to get better from musculoskeletal back pain.
In fact I have also suffered from lower back pain for 7 years following a gym related injury.
After developing my own rehabilitation program I can now say I am back pain free and back doing the physical activities I love (Brazilian Jiu Jitsu).
Throughout my time as an osteopath treating patients and rehabilitating my own injury, I have seen what works and what doesn't, and now I get my patients to follow this exact same process to overcome their back pain.
The success I have had with my patients is what led me to creating this eBook.
I know that for so many people around the world it can be hard for them to get access to the right healthcare.
For some, they may live too far away to regularly see someone for treatment or rehab.
For others regular treatment or rehab is too expensive.
Some people can’t even physically leave their own homes.
This is why I created this ebook.
I want people to have access to their very own resource that will help them overcome their pain, and start rebuilding their back so that they can get out and start enjoying their lives again and not have to worry about their pain holding them back.
