Conditions We Treat

Preston Osteopathy provides expert care for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, including back pain, sciatica, neck pain, and sports injuries. Treatment is personalised and evidence-based, combining hands-on techniques, rehabilitation, and education to address the root cause of pain, restore function, and support long-term health and mobility.

  • Back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints and can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort. It can stem from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, disc issues, or poor posture.

    Sciatica refers to irritation of the sciatic nerve, often causing pain that radiates from the lower back down through the buttock and into the leg. This can result from disc bulges, spinal misalignments, or muscular compression.

    We can help identify the source of your pain and use hands-on techniques, tailored exercises, and postural education to relieve discomfort and restore movement.

  • Neck pain can be caused by muscle tension, poor posture, joint dysfunction, or injury. It often leads to reduced mobility and can contribute to tension-type headaches or cervicogenic headaches (headaches that originate from the neck).

    Headaches can also stem from stress, jaw dysfunction, or nerve irritation.

    Our approach focuses on relieving muscular tension, improving joint mobility, and addressing postural habits to help reduce frequency and intensity of headaches.

  • Shoulder pain can result from rotator cuff injuries, bursitis, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), or impingement syndromes. It often affects reaching, lifting, or sleeping comfortably.

    We work to restore mobility, reduce inflammation, and strengthen supporting muscles to help you regain full use of your shoulder.

  • Hip pain may come from joint degeneration (like arthritis), muscle imbalances, labral tears, or referred pain from the lower back. It can impact walking, climbing stairs, or even sleeping.

    Our treatment includes hands-on therapy, movement retraining, and strengthening exercises to address the root cause and support long-term function.

  • Knee pain is commonly linked to overuse, ligament injuries, patellofemoral pain (kneecap issues), or osteoarthritis.

    Whether you're active or sedentary, we assess how your hips, ankles, and movement patterns influence your knee, and we use targeted techniques to reduce pain and improve stability.


  • This includes conditions like tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis), golfer’s elbow (medial epicondylitis), carpal tunnel syndrome, and repetitive strain injuries.

    We look at your daily activities, work habits, and posture to relieve irritation and guide you through recovery with manual therapy and rehabilitation exercises.

  • From sprains and strains to overuse injuries and impact trauma, sports injuries can affect both elite athletes and weekend warriors.

    We focus on accurate diagnosis, efficient recovery, and a return-to-sport plan tailored to your activity level and goals.

  • In addition to the common conditions listed, we also work with patients experiencing Ankle & Foot Pain, Repetitive Stress Injury (RSI) and TMJ and Jaw Pain.
