What is Back Pain?

Back pain is discomfort, stiffness, or aching anywhere along the spine – from the neck down to the lower back. It can range from a dull, persistent ache to sharp, shooting pain that makes moving, bending, or lifting difficult.

Back pain can be caused by a variety of factors, including muscle strain, poor posture, injury, spinal conditions, or joint wear and tear. It may also be linked to lifestyle factors such as prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, or carrying heavy loads.

While occasional back pain is common, persistent or worsening pain can interfere with daily activities, sleep, and overall quality of life. Early assessment and treatment can help relieve discomfort, restore mobility, and prevent long-term issues.

I was lucky enough to see Charlotte about my old lady knees that have been dreadful lately and was fully expecting her to inform me that they need replacing. Instead she calmly and informatively explained what is going on and that by doing the exercises she fully demonstrated and got me to try and with regular ultrasound scans, I should regain full mobility with minimum pain. I will admit I was not particularly looking forward to the session, but after spending the time with Charlotte and having my questions answered thoroughly and being calmly advised, I am really hopeful that together we can help ensure I walk tall and hobble no more!

I have appointments here and it’s been a brilliant service, 8 years of pain from a car accident and 2 sessions of shockwave therapy and I can feel the difference!

I struggled with plantar fasciitis for four months. A course of 6 sessions of shock wave therapy from Charlotte & Jason has made huge improvements. I'm back walking the golf course and largely untroubled by what was previously a chronic problem. I've received great care and treatment and would be happy to recommend.

I’ve had 4 consultations with Charlotte due to my Knee and Plantar Fasciitis issues. So far, both are improving nicely Charlotte is both very knowledgable and friendly and manages to put one at ease with her easy going nature. Also impressed with the appointment reminders and the whole set up. I would certainly recommend to anyone Thanks Andy Goodey Rayne Braintree

My practitioner Charlotte, has continued the good work of this practice. Her observations of my stance and her listening capacity seem as important as the therapy she applies. In all these applied skills, find me at last in a good place. I have recommended her to my wife Diane and to a dear friend Shirley after a nasty fall in Spain. All will recommend Charlotte as their preferred Osteopath.. Grateful thanks. A. L. Baker.

I was assessed and by Charlotte who was really thorough and showed full understanding of my issue. Her treatment plan for me included shockwave therapy and exercises for me to do at home. I had sought help for plantar fasciitis from other professionals but Charlotte was by far the most thorough. I had 3 sessions and it has made a world of difference. I have recommended her to friends and I wouldn’t hesitate to seek her help again.

I’m 18 and a keen runner. After a big block of training I got a really stubborn knee injury that just didn’t seem to go away for months. I went to Great Dunmow Osteopathy & Health and did their knee pain programme which included focused shockwave therapy. I couldn’t believe how quickly the pain started to go away. That combined with a rehabilitation exercise programme Charlotte gave me meant I was pain free and back to running in just a few weeks! If you are in pain don’t waste anymore time, these guys will get you fixed very quickly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We're here to help!

Back pain is discomfort, stiffness, or aching anywhere along the spine - from the neck to the lower back. It can limit mobility, affect posture, and make daily activities like bending, lifting, or sitting for long periods uncomfortable. Persistent back pain can also disrupt sleep and reduce overall quality of life.

We use a combination of osteopathy, physiotherapy, and massage to relieve tension, restore spinal alignment, and improve mobility. For chronic or stubborn pain, shockwave therapy can help reduce inflammation and stimulate deeper healing.

Some episodes of back pain may improve with rest, gentle movement, and lifestyle adjustments. However, pain that persists, recurs frequently, or worsens usually requires professional assessment and treatment to address the underlying cause.

Recovery depends on the cause, severity, and individual health. Mild strains may improve in a few weeks, while more complex issues like disc problems or chronic tension may require several months of consistent therapy. Early intervention often leads to faster and more lasting results.

Yes. Maintaining a strong core, practicing good posture, staying active, and lifting correctly can all reduce the risk of back pain. Our team can provide personalised exercise programs and lifestyle advice to help protect your spine and prevent future flare-ups.
