A member asked:

How would an osteopath really solve the upper back and neck pains, or tension headaches?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

The osteopath can: Evaluate and treat you and if no improvement, refer, if necessary, to the appropriate specialist. The good news that most issues related to the spine get better over time no matter who treats you.
