Osteopathy & Physiotherapy for Back Pain treatment in Sevenoaks and Bexley
You are not alone. Back pain is a common and often debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide, with research showing around 60% of people report experiencing back pain. You may also be experiencing nerve pain as a secondary symptom, with Sciatica being one of the more common occurrence. This is where the sciatic nerve is affected and the pain may run down the back of your leg. Back pain can often lead to suffering from chronic pain caused by degeneration, or ‘wear and tear’, where individuals experience long-lasting pain.
The type of pain itself can range from a dull ache to a sharp, stabbing sensation and can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor posture, injury, muscle strain, or underlying health conditions such as arthritis or herniated discs. Regardless of the cause, back pain can significantly impact a person’s quality of life and make everyday activities difficult or even impossible to perform.
At our clinic, we offer a range of Osteopathy and Physiotherapy treatments designed to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and promote overall spinal health. These may include manual therapy techniques, exercise therapy, and physiotherapy methods, among others. Our goal is to help our patients achieve lasting relief from their back pain and return to their daily activities as soon as possible. If you are struggling with back pain and are looking for an effective, evidence-based solution, we invite you to book an appointment with us today. Our team of experienced Osteopaths and Physiotherapists are here to help you find the relief you need and reclaim your quality of life.
This is a commonly asked question and at Apollo Clinics we offer a multi-disciplinary approach. Osteopathy aims to restore a balance within your body, focusing on ensuring your skeleton, muscles, tissues and all parts of your body are working in harmony together. In general an Osteopath tends to work more with their hands but will still prescribe you with exercises to complete independently.
Physiotherapy focuses on the rehabilitation of your physical function primarily through the use of exercise and modalities. That said, a Physio will also also utilise manual therapy techniques such as massage within their treatment.
Both Osteopaths and Physios are well equipped to treat back pain and will examine, diagnose and treat problems with your joints, bones, soft tissue, muscles and nerves by looking at the function of your body. We will always guide you to the most appropriate treatment which may include a combination of both.
Whether you are seen by the Osteopath or the Physiotherapist, both first appointments will follow a similar process and you will be sent a patient intake form via email beforehand to help provide as much context as possible.
Exercise Prescription Software
Our focus will always be on retraining your body and looking at preventative measures to avoid reoccurrence of injuries. You will be provided with access to our digital exercise prescription software with full instructions on the range of exercise prescribed, as well as the ability to provide feedback for your practitioner as these are completed

If left untreated, back pain can have a significant impact on your quality of life. It is essential to seek treatment from a professional as soon as possible, so that they can help with:
An injury or trauma to an area will cause the body to react. This is called the inflammatory healing process. When regions of the body are inflamed people may notice pain and swelling in the area. Occasionally the body will overreact and cause the surrounding muscles to spasm. Also known as muscle guarding. There are three stages of healing if you injure your back:
It is important that your pain pain is managed correctly throughout the different stages of healing process.
Our Bexley osteopath ensures he is up to date with the latest research regarding the treatment for backpain. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines recommend manual therapy, such as osteopathy, for lower back pain and sciatica treatment, when also including rehabilitation exercises. The NHS also recognises osteopathy as a form of treatment that can help with musculoskeletal back pain.
