NICE Guidelines for early management of persistent non-specific low back pain.
Guidelines for the early management of persistent non-specific low back pain have been released by The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence.
This focuses on patients who "have been in pain for longer than 6 weeks but less than one year, where pain may be linked to structures in the back such as joints, muscles and ligaments".
NICE recommends that clinicians trying to improve the management of persistent non-specific low back pain use manual therapy, as practised by osteopaths, which includes techniques using spinal manipulation, mobilisation, and massage/soft tissue work.
Further information concerning the full guidance and a summary of the guidelines, can be found at http://www.nice.org.uk/CG88

What is Osteopathy
Not all people know what osteopathy is. Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopathy is an effective health care system which focuses mainly on the musculo-skeletal system (the muscles, joints, ligaments and connective tissues) and the way this inter-relates with the body as a whole.
Osteopaths use their hands to diagnose and treat the underlying cause of the problem utilising a highly developed sense of touch, to identify problem areas of the body. Osteopaths use a wide range of techniques from soft tissue massage to joint mobilisation.
We take a holistic view that the musculo-skeletal system is important in maintaining the health of other parts of the body such as the respiratory and digestive systems. Osteopathy encourages the body to work as efficiently as possible, allowing the body to restore itself to normal function. Treatment is carried out using a wide variety of techniques to suit the patient and the condition being treated, thus making it suitable for the whole family.
Osteopaths train for 4 – 5 years at recognised specialist colleges where there skills and understanding are developed. Once graduated Osteopaths are registered with the General Osteopathic council (GosC) and become members of the British Osteopathic Association (BOA).
