Treating back pain begins with the right diagnosis

At Central Coast Osteopath, we are qualified to recognise the difference between uncomplicated back pain and more serious back pain that requires referral to a specialist.

You don’t need a referral from a GP to see us, simply book an appointment for us to diagnose the root cause of your back pain and recommend the appropriate course of action.

When assessing you, we will take into account many lifestyle factors that could cause or contribute to your back pain, including what you do for work, the ergonomics of your work/study environment and your posture, sleep and exercise/movement habits.

Once we have diagnosed the type and cause of your back pain, we will tailor a comprehensive treatment program for you consisting of a combination of massage, joint mobilisation techniques and gentle stretching exercises to get you back on your feet and help you manage your condition on an ongoing basis.
