Understanding Back Pain

Whether it’s a dull ache, sharp twinge, or ongoing stiffness, back pain can make even the simplest tasks feel challenging.

You might notice discomfort:

  • When sitting for long periods
  • When bending to put on socks or shoes
  • When caring for children or grandchildren
  • During exercise or physical activity

Around 80% of people will experience back pain at some point in their lives. While it’s rarely linked to serious illness, it can have a big impact on your day-to-day life. Most often, it’s caused by strain or irritation to the muscles, joints, or ligaments of the back.

"Sarah has been wonderful in helping me to understand and resolve pain in my back and arm. I had tried a number of other treatments before I tried osteopathy with Sarah, and was thrilled that within a few sessions the pain had gone. Sarah's kind, empathetic and gentle approach is fantastic, especially if you feel nervous about treatment. The whole session is very relaxing and Sarah explains everything clearly each step of the way. I think the way that Sarah works with you to heal yourself is quite magical and leaves you feeling much stronger and capable than ever. I'm very grateful to Sarah for her help and expertise."

"I have been coming to Cranleigh Osteopaths for a long time now, being treated for complex health issues resulting from illness, multiple injuries and operations. I’ve always been treated by Sam, and can honestly say that there has not been a single time when I have not felt far, far better after the session."

"I was lucky enough to get a last-minute appointment with Richard yesterday at Cranleigh Osteopaths. He came highly recommended and I have to say that he is amazing. His manner is gentle and he instils great confidence. I have always arrived rather broken, but the next day I feel a different person - lighter, with more mobility and in happier spirits. "

"Richard is extremely knowledgeable and very effective. I first saw him in about 20 years ago after a car accident and I have always felt welcome to return whether I’ve left it days, months or years. He has been able to help various problems including dizziness and neck and back pain. He is very thorough and has a very wholesome and holistic approach."
