Back pain is the single most common musculoskeletal complaint in the UK, affecting around 80% of people at some point in their lives. At MDOsteo, it’s also what we treat most across all three South London clinics, every single day.
What causes back pain?
Back pain is rarely one thing. It’s usually a combination muscle strain, disc irritation, joint stiffness, posture that has built up over time. A single dramatic event often just exposes a problem that was already developing.
We find the actual root cause. Many patients arrive with a diagnosis of “slipped disc” or “wear and tear” often incomplete and unnecessarily alarming. We tell you what we actually find, in plain English.
How osteopathy helps
We combine soft tissue therapy, joint mobilisation, and targeted exercises to address the cause of your pain not just the site. You leave each session knowing what to do at home to keep the progress going.
For persistent cases, we may recommend shockwave therapy or refer for imaging. You will always have a clear plan and honest expectations from day one.

How many sessions will I need for back pain?
Most acute back pain responds well within 3–6 sessions. Chronic or complex presentations may need more. We’ll give you an honest estimate after your first appointment.
Should I rest or stay active with back pain?
In most cases, staying gently active is better than complete rest. We’ll advise you on what movement is appropriate based on your specific condition.
Can osteopathy help with a disc problem?
Yes — osteopathy is often very effective for disc-related back pain. We’ll assess whether osteopathic treatment is appropriate for your situation and be clear if imaging or a referral is needed.
Do I need a GP referral?
No. You can book directly with us no referral needed.
