Mild pain is often your body just asking for a change to be made. It might come in the form of general aches and pains from overuse or it could be an injury caused by a specific trauma. By understanding why your body is behaving the way it is, we can create you an individual treatment plan that will relieve your immediate pain and then help you work towards a long-term solution.
What are the causes of lower back and neck pain?
Lower back and neck pain is often caused by spending too much time sitting at a desk or lifting items incorrectly, creating strain on the joints and muscles. It may leave you feeling stiff and can severely restrict your movement.
What causes shoulder pain?
There are a wide range of reason you could be suffering from shoulder pain, including:
• Poor posture & Frozen shoulder – this can prevent normal movement
• Shoulder instability or Hypermobility – which creates an unusually large range of movement
• Joint disorders – such as osteoarthritis
Before we treat your pain, we will always carry out a professional assessment of your condition, to rule out any underlying medical issues.

How does Osteopathy treatment work?
Osteopathy is a very gentle, holistic therapy that can help relieve musculoskeletal conditions such as lower back, neck or shoulder pain. It uses a combination of techniques, including stretching and massaging of the muscles, and articulation and manipulation of the joints. The treatment is not painful and many patients find it quite an enjoyable experience.
One of the key benefits of Osteopath, is that it does not involve any medication or invasive surgery. It also works on the entire body. By improving the body function and encouraging a better flow of blood and lymphatics, Osteopathy enables the whole body to heal itself. It can be helpful for people of all ages and all physiques.
Combining other treatments can boost recovery
Here at Sussex Physical Therapy we also have the option of using Dry Needling, Kinesio Taping and Shockwave Therapy techniques, where we think they will be of most benefit to your body. All of these techniques aim to improve the bodies function, mobility and circulation.
