Treatment for Pain Relief

Relief of back pain and sciatica

In delivering treatment, our primary focus initially is to relieve your pain as quickly as possible.

Clinical Director, Gavin Routledge has over 30 years experience in specialising in spinal problems as an Edinburgh Osteopath. We can help you with mild strains, prolapsed/bulging/herniated discs, compressed nerves, muscle spasms and a myriad of other possible diagnoses. With a Masters Degree in Pain Management, Gavin is author of two books on back pain – “The Back Book” in 1997 with Gavin Hastings OBE, and in 2017 “Active X Backs – an effective long-term solution to lower back pain“.

All our clinicians work to the Active X protocol 6 step process:

  1. Gather information – you fill in an online form before your appointment AND then tell us your story when you have your first appointment.
  2. We examine you (even if you’re consulting us online via video link, in which case there is an abbreviated physical assessment).
  3. Explain to you what type of problem you have (this is a more holistic process than a “diagnosis”).
  4. Provide you with advice on how to help yourself to recover – do’s and don’ts.
  5. Offer best-in-class treatment to speed your recovery.
  6. Offer preventive care (keeping you back from the Edge of the Cliff of Pain).

Prevention Plans

Our Prevention Plans are designed to take you beyond treatment for pain relief. We will help you to optimise the health of your back and the rest of you (your back doesn’t operate in isolation!). You will be provided with supportive, appropriate treatment, health coaching, and accountability. And rapid access to one of our Edinburgh Osteopaths should that ever be required. It’s a best-in-class service that maximises your chances of sticking to a preventative approach. Because after all, prevention is better than cure.

You Decide

You could of course opt only treatment for short-term relief, only helping you to reach the Cliff Top. But that would be forgetting that one of the biggest risk factors for pain is having had pain before. And that the best place to be is as far back from the Edge of The Cliff of Pain as possible. Your pain does not exist in isolation. Much better to do more than just treat the symptom. Let us guide you as far back from the edge of another episode as possible!
