Backache and Back Pain

If you have been suffering from Lower or upper back pain you will know how debilitating it can be. Often simple everyday tasks become a chore, standing for long periods of time can be exhausting, there are times that even lying down does not help the pain. It is not only the site of the pain itself that can affect a person. The pain may not just be localised to one specific area of the back but spread making pain relief harder to achieve. Some people choose to use backrubs or tablets such as Tylenol or acomol.

Relief from Back pain

CranioSacral therapy relieves the physical strains and pressures that have been maintained in the body’s structure for years, allows for the back to realign, removing and alleviating the pain and suffering, even if it has lasted for many years. In some cases there are emotional issues which have been causing the problems and these can be addressed as well. The gentle treatment allows for the repositioning of bones, muscles and ligaments which may have been held out of position due to bad posture or injury, it improves the flow of CerebroSpinal Fluid which enables the Central Nervous System

Back pain may result from several reasons:

Firstly bad posture can lead to abnormal pressures on the muscles and vertebrae which over time lead to dysfunction and pain. Secondly back pain may be a caused by years of misuse of the back, picking up and carrying heavy loads incorrectly can also cause ‘wear and tear’ on the back which leads to back problems. Finally, injuries to the spine, legs, shoulders or even the head can cause damage to the spinal column especially if they are not given enough time to heal and mend. Many times the back pain experienced to day has its roots in injury or misuse of the back which occurred many years ago and the back has been left to accommodate these restrictions until a part of the supporting structure – bone, muscle, tendon, ligament or disc – is not strong enough and finally lets out its cry to the body and the back problem begins.
