The spine, or vertebral column, is another word for the backbone. It is a bony column that protects the spinal cord. The spinal cord is a thin, tubular bundle of nerves that is an extension of the central nervous system from the brain.
While traditionally Osteopaths were consulted for problems of the back and spine, Osteopathy is now understood to have benefits for a wide range of health problems. Some of the conditions that can be helped by Osteopathy include:
- Sore back
- Sore joints and muscles
- In pregnancy and postnatal
- Sports injuries
- Repetitive strain injury
- Breathing problems, such as asthma
- Problems with posture
- Headaches and migraines
- Digestive problems
- Arthritis and rheumatoid conditions
- Pre-Menstrual Syndrome
