I suffered a lower back spasm 20 years ago & GP said its a muscle spasm & it will get better, blah blah blah. Cue mild back pain & odd recuring spasm for 15 yr + until at my current work place, after I flared it up pretty badly.
OH sent me to a osteopath wifey in Staffin on Skye & after a strip down & instructed to bend over she instantly said your pelvis (SI Joint) is āsquintā on the table & the old shoulder & knee levering & loud crack. After a day or 2 it was like having a new back , not experieced nagging lower back pain freedom for so many years it was amazing.
I have an SI joint dysfunction & occasionaly I twist it out with heavy lifting typicaly while standing on 1 leg or uneven footing & if I dont get it cracked it lasts weeks & when cracked , 1- 2 days & itās gone.
Lotās of people slag off Osteopaths as quackery , my experience tells me diferent. I suffered for years after listening to various GPās.
