Back Pain Treatment in Camberley

Your Guide to Back Pain Relief in Camberley

Back pain is one of the most common reasons people come to see me in clinic. Whether your pain came on suddenly, has been building for a while, or keeps flaring up, osteopathy can often help reduce pain and improve how you move.

I’m Claire, a registered osteopath based in Camberley, and I help adults and children with everyday back pain, sciatica and stiffness using hands‑on treatment and clear, practical advice.

Common Types of Back Pain I Treat

People come to see me with many different types of back pain, including:

  • Lower back pain after lifting, gardening or DIY

  • Back pain from long hours at a desk or driving

  • Stiffness and aching first thing in the morning

  • Pain that travels into the buttock or leg (sciatica)

  • Recurrent “twinges” that keep coming back

Back pain can feel worrying, but in many cases it responds well to a short course of osteopathic treatment combined with simple exercises and lifestyle changes.

Common Causes of Back Pain

  • Muscle or Ligament Strain: Overuse, heavy lifting, or sudden awkward movements can strain muscles and ligaments.

  • Poor Posture: Sitting for long periods, slouching, or poor workstation setup can put stress on your back.

  • Disc Problems: Herniated or prolapsed discs can press on nerves, causing pain or sciatica.

  • Arthritis & Wear and Tear: Age-related changes can affect the spine’s joints and discs.

  • Injuries: Falls, sports injuries, or accidents can cause acute or persistent pain.

  • Stress & Tension: Emotional stress can lead to muscle tightness and discomfort.

When to See an Osteopath About My Back Pain?

It may be a good time to seek help if:

  • Your back pain has lasted more than a few days and isn’t improving

  • It’s starting to affect your sleep, work or daily activities

  • You’ve had similar episodes before and they keep returning

  • You’re relying more and more on painkillers to get through the day

There are some situations where you should contact your GP or NHS 111 urgently instead of booking an osteopathy appointment – for example, if you have:

  • Back pain with difficulty controlling your bladder or bowels

  • Numbness around your genitals or inner thighs

  • Unexplained weight loss, fever or feeling very unwell

If you’re unsure whether osteopathy is right for you, you’re welcome to get in touch and I can advise on the most appropriate next step.

How Osteopathy Can Help Your Back Pain

As an osteopath, I assess how your spine, muscles and joints are moving, and look for areas of tension, stiffness or overload that may be contributing to your pain. Treatment may include:

  • Gentle joint mobilisation and manipulation

  • Soft tissue techniques to ease tight muscles

  • Stretching and movement techniques

  • Advice on posture, pacing and everyday activities

  • Simple home exercises to support your recovery

Most people with straightforward back pain need around 3–5 sessions, usually starting weekly and then spacing out as things improve. I don’t block book appointments – we review your progress together and agree what feels right for you.

What to expect from your Appointment?

New patient consultation (60 minutes):

  • Detailed case history and discussion of your symptoms

  • Physical examination and movement assessment

  • Explanation of what I think is going on

  • Hands‑on treatment where appropriate

  • Clear plan for treatment and self‑care

​​

Follow‑up appointments (30 minutes):

  • Review of how you’ve been since the last session

  • Ongoing hands‑on treatment

  • Progression of exercises and advice

 

You’re welcome to ask questions at any time, and we’ll always work at a pace and pressure that feels comfortable for you.
