What Is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the body’s structure and function. By working with muscles, joints, ligaments, and the spine, osteopaths aim to relieve pain, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

Our treatments are tailored to you, combining gentle techniques such as joint mobilization, soft tissue massage, and spinal adjustments with advice on posture, exercise, and lifestyle.

Osteopathy for Lower Back Pain

Lower back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat at Maple Leaf Osteopathy. Whether caused by injury, posture, or everyday strain, we work to identify the root cause and provide lasting relief.

Common Causes of Lower Back Pain We Treat:

🔹 Facet Joint Irritation

Facet joints connect the vertebrae in your spine. When irritated or inflamed, they can cause stiffness and localized pain. Osteopathic treatment can:

• Restore normal joint mobility

• Reduce inflammation and stiffness

• Relieve associated muscular pain

🔹 Disc Bulge (Herniated or Prolapsed Disc)

A bulging disc can press on nerves, leading to lower back pain, sciatica, or numbness. We use gentle techniques to:

• Reduce surrounding muscle tension

• Improve spinal alignment

• Support recovery and prevent flare-ups

🔹 Muscle Strain or Spasm

Sudden movements, overuse, or poor posture often lead to painful muscle tension. Treatment can:

• Relax tight muscles

• Improve circulation

• Speed up healing and recovery

🔹 Poor Posture

Modern lifestyles often contribute to postural issues. We can help by:

• Correcting spinal imbalances

• Reducing strain on muscles and joints

• Providing advice for healthier posture at work and home
