Backache Treatment Cambridge
Backache is a common problem that can make life anything from uncomfortable to almost impossible. The most common route of treatment using complementary therapies is Osteopathy or Chiropractic, but Massage, Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Zero Balancing are also useful.
The causes of backache may be multiple so you may need to see more than one practitioner in order to gain the relief you need. The most common cause tends to be bad posture leading to strain or other damage to the joints, ligaments or muscles of the spine and its surrounding areas. Improving posture and exercise can also alleviate the problem.
In mind/body therapies, the association depends on the area of the back causing the problem, the neck represents the ability to see the bigger picture; so a stiff or painful neck can indicate a resistance to change, or blinkered/narrow thinking patterns. Problems in the shoulders can relate to responsibility and burdens, in line with the saying “carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders”. If the problem is lower in the back issues of vulnerability are indicted, and you may question if you are you feeling weak or powerless (or even spineless)? The pelvis represents movement, specifically moving forward in life, and problems can arise at life changes, puberty, pregnancy and the menopause, bereavement, job loss/change, children leaving home etc.
