Back pain, known as lumbago, is a general term used to describe back pain : Difficulty bending forward, radiating pain, focal pinching, stiffness in all planes of movement, bar-like pain— back pain is a common condition that can significantly impair quality of life.
As an osteopath, I use my OSMOVE method to offer an approach with effective solutions to relieve back pain by treating various conditions such as muscle contracture, disc herniation, sciatica, and referred pain of visceral origin.
Treatment of Back Pain
As an osteopath specialized in the musculoskeletal system, I combine several techniques including manual therapy and specific manipulations, along with postural exercises, to help patients regain their functional balance more quickly while preventing future recurrences
Treatment of disc herniation
Lumbar disc herniations can cause intense pain and limited movement. Osteopathy offers a natural and effective approach to relieve herniation symptoms by working on muscle contracture, rehydrating tissues and the disc, releasing adhesions of the thoracolumbar fascia, and improving blood and lymphatic circulation in the affected area. By working closely with the patient, I develop a personalized treatment plan aimed at correcting posture and strengthening surrounding structures to minimize pressure on the discs.
Treatment of Sciatica
Symptoms of sciatica occur when there is irritation along the path of the sciatic nerve. Disc herniation, sacroiliac joint dysfunction, lumbar vertebra, piriformis muscle, gluteal muscles, and hamstrings are potential causes of this sciatica, with painful symptoms localized in the lower back, buttock, knee and sometimes the foot. Myofascial and joint work is required depending on the location of compression of the sciatic nerve.
