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, particularly low back pain is one of the most common conditions we see at Preston Osteopathy. It can range from a dull ache to sharp, debilitating discomfort. It can stem from muscle strain, joint dysfunction, disc issues, or prolonged 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 root cause of your pain and use hands-on treatment, tailored home-exercises, and lifestyle education to relieve discomfort, improve mobility and get you feeling your best.

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

    Headaches may also stem from stress, jaw dysfunction, or nerve irritation, making it important to identify the underlying cause.

    At Preston Osteopathy, our osteopaths take a hands-on, tailored approach to help relieve muscular tension, improve joint mobility, and address postural habits. By treating the root cause of neck pain and headaches, we aim to help reduce headache frequency and intensity so you can move and feel better.

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

    At Preston Osteopathy, we assess the underlying cause of your shoulder pain and use hands-on osteopathic treatment to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore shoulder function. Our approach focuses on relieving inflammation, improving joint movement, and strengthening the supporting muscles to help you regain full use of your shoulder and get back to doing the things you enjoy.

  • Hip pain can be caused by joint degeneration such as hip arthritis, muscle imbalances, labral tears, bursitis, or referred pain from the lower back. It can affect everyday activities like walking, climbing stairs, exercising, or even sleeping comfortably.

    At Preston Osteopathy, we assess the underlying cause of your hip pain and provide tailored osteopathic treatment to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore function. Our approach may include hands-on therapy, movement retraining, and targeted strengthening exercises to address the root cause of hip and lower back pain and support long-term joint health and movement.

  • 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.
