Sciatica and Back Pain

Acupuncture, osteopathy, and massage therapy are effective for treating back pain and sciatica in Kelowna.

Acupuncture, Massage Therapy and Osteopathy can Help!

     Low back pain is a common condition that can have a variety of causes, including muscle or ligament strain, herniated discs, arthritis, spinal stenosis, and other structural or biomechanical issues. It can also be caused by lifestyle factors such as poor posture, lack of exercise, and stress.

     Acupuncture, massage therapy, and osteopathy are three alternative therapies that can be used to treat low back pain. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. Acupuncture can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation in the affected area, as well as address any underlying imbalances or dysfunction that may be contributing to the condition.

     Massage therapy involves the manipulation of soft tissues in the body, including muscles, tendons, and ligaments, to improve circulation and reduce tension. It can help relieve pain, improve range of motion, and promote relaxation. Massage therapy can be used to target the affected area in low back pain, as well as other areas of tension or pain that may be contributing to the condition.

     Osteopathy is a manual therapy that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, and the interrelationships between the body's structures and functions. Osteopaths use a range of techniques, including massage, stretching, and manipulation, to help restore balance and function to the body. Osteopathy can help relieve pain and improve mobility in the affected area, as well as address any underlying structural imbalances or dysfunction that may be contributing to the condition.

​     In summary, low back pain can have a variety of causes, and acupuncture, massage therapy, and osteopathy can be effective therapies for treating the condition. Acupuncture can help relieve pain and reduce inflammation, massage therapy can improve circulation and reduce tension, and osteopathy can address structural imbalances and restore balance and function to the body. Consult with a qualified practitioner to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs.
