Going to see one tomorrow to see what they can do for my back, quacks seem to be doing a lot of nothing..and while im off work the SSP im recieving isnt really helping with bills etc.
Has anyone been to one and what can i expect??

landraver:
A mate of mine is a self employed tree surgeon / landscape gardener. He was always fit & strong, but then he got trouble with his back. Like you he tried the G.P. etc but no joy. So he went to a private Osteopath (it was worth it to him because of the money he was losing!) & after a couple of sessions he reckoned it sorted him out!!!

So there is hope Bezza :)

He's emigrated to Oz now, makin a mint & never looked back :!:

cheers for that.. cant grumble mother-in-law is paying for me to see the osteo ;) think shes trying to tell me something :lol:

I went to one about 36 years ago.  Had a trapped nerve in my back. :cry:   My doctor at the time was just prescribing pain killers.  That went on for a year.  :roll:  I could be just sitting and turn to one side to set off the pain.  Also if driving long distances in a car, my left leg would give me hell.  OK on the motorbike or driving my employers wagon, but I was sitting straight up or leaning forward.  It was the osteopath that diagnosed a trapped nerve.  Bit of manipulation of my leg, then a tug, then I came down off the ceiling.  :shock:  Been ok since, but I still get back ache due to the length of time I had the trapped nerve before treatment. Good luck. :wink:

Edge:
Dont know what your actual injury is Bezzabsa, I suffered a collapsed vertabrea and realise how much stress a bad back can cause..... So I pretty much understand how much discomfort you must be dealing with. HOPE YOUR WELL soon.
