Back and shoulder pain 

 

Back pain can be caused by many structures such as:

 

 - Vertebrae and their joints

 - Discs

 - Ligaments

 - Muscles

 - Spinal cord and peripheral nerves


Pain usually indicates inflammation in the relevant structure

which can be caused by an injury, or by conditions such as 

arthritis.

 

The shoulder can suffer from a number of ligament and muscle strains, dislocation, joint inflammation and fractures.

Tendon tears or irritation are a common cause of inflamation and muscle spasm, sometimes causing what is known as 'frozen shoulder' (adhesive capsulitis) which is an extreme loss of movement. 


By encouraging the range of movement, osteopathic treatment aims to improve muscle tones and circulation to reduce pain and inflammation.
