Did my lower back a week before my daughter’s wedding in Spain. Was getting worse daily and could hardly bend so managed to get an appointment with David the evening before we flew out. He asked a few questions then carried on with a laser heat treatment. What a difference -noticed it had improved when leaving surgery, next morning was almost back to normal and had forgotten about it by the wedding. Highly recommended!

Drysdale Osteopathy • Acute Low Back Pain & Sciatica

Patient: Man 36 years
Occupation: Joiner
Pain: 7/10

Complaint: Sudden onset of Low Back Pain and Sciatica while lifting at work 3 days earlier.

Treatment: No treatment was given at the first consultation, as the condition was too painful and inflamed - Treatment would have made the condition worse at this stage. The patient was instructed to rest at home for 3 days and take analgesics.

Treatment began 3 days later with Acupuncture and Spinal Manipulation.

The patient was 80% improved 2 days later, when he had a second treatment.

The patient received a third treatment 1 week later, and was almost pain free by this stage.

The patient was advised to return if he felt it necessary.

Prognosis: Good, but must take care to lift within his physical limit.
