It doesn’t have to be extreme sports - sometimes everyday movements can trigger pain that can lasts for weeks.

Treating these pains quickly can often be the key to resolving them. Our osteopathic practice sometimes has free appointments the same (or next) day. Please give us a call to check if there have been any cancellations or free spaces.

1. Rest
* Avoid activities that worsen the pain.
* Give your body time to heal. Getting extra sleep and rest can help your body repair itself more quickly.

2. Apply Ice and Heat
* Start with ice. For the first 24-48 hours, applying a cold pack to the affected area can help reduce swelling and inflammation.
* Switch to heat later. Once the initial inflammation has gone down, a heating pad or warm compress can help relax the muscles around the nerve, which may ease the pressure.

3. Adjust Your Posture
* Be mindful of how you sit and stand. Poor posture is a common cause of pinched nerves, especially in the neck and back.
* Use pillows for support. If you have a pinched nerve in your back, try lying on your back with pillows under your knees to take pressure off your spine.

4. Gentle Stretching
* Do not push through the pain. While gentle stretching can help relieve pressure on the nerve, it’s crucial to stop immediately if you feel sharp pain.

5. Over-the-Counter Pain Relievers
* Take anti-inflammatory medications. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen can help reduce both pain and inflammation.

6. Consider a Brace or Splint
* Immobilise the area. For pinched nerves in the wrist or hand (like carpal tunnel syndrome), wearing a splint can help keep the area in a neutral position, which prevents further compression of the nerve.

When to Seek Further Help: If your symptoms don’t improve after a few days of self-care, or if the pain is severe, you should see a healthcare professional. An osteopath can provide an accurate diagnosis, provide treatment to help resolve the problem and relieve your pain, and may recommend or directly refer you for additional tests if necessary.

Osteopathy is a gentle and effective form of treatment that is suitable for children of all ages. Remember, we will always refer you to your GP if at all necessary.

As children get older, we see pain caused by posture, sports injuries and even the physical effects that stress can bring. Whatever the cause, we always take the time to talk calmly and understand your child’s discomfort.

If you feel your child would benefit from osteopathy, please feel free to contact us.

We understand that no two women’s menopause symptoms are the same. For some, entering peri-menopause can be almost symptom-free. For others, it can cause a whole raft of symptoms; in fact it can sometimes be debilitating.

For help with these symptoms, your first call should be your GP. However, did you know that an Osteopath can often provide additional, valuable help? We use a holistic, whole-body approach which is ideal when so many elements are effected and each symptom can be linked to another.

Here are a few things we can help with:

Digestive problems
Sleep disturbances.
Joint pain (often hips but this could affect any joints)
Join stiffness
Muscle pain
Tension
Relaxation (which often helps sleep disturbances)
Anxiety and emotional changes (physical imbalances and increased relaxation can often help these symptoms)
Reduced energy (by reducing tension)
Advice on lifestyle changes you can continue at home to reduce symptoms.

To make an appointment, simply contact us at your convenience.

We look forward to meeting you.
