Do you know the difference between acute pain and chronic pain?

Acute pain usually refers to a fresh injury, and this phase can last around 3 to 6 months.

Chronic pain refers to pain that has lasted longer than the expected time frame for healing. When an issue does not resolve as expected and persists longer than it should, it can become chronic pain.

Osteopaths deal with both acute and chronic pain. Osteopathic treatment may not only help in managing recent injuries but also those ongoing niggles that haven't repaired.

Do you experience shooting pain down your leg, difficulty sitting or walking, or tingling and numbness? These can be signs of sciatica, a condition that can significantly affect your daily comfort and mobility.

Osteopathy aims to not only relieve your current discomfort but to restore optimal function and build long-term resilience.

We begin with a thorough assessment of your symptoms, posture, and lifestyle habits to understand the root cause of your disc issue. If needed, we may recommend X-rays or MRIs for a clearer view of your spinal health.

Spiky massage balls improve blood flow. They also stimulate muscle reflexes and release muscle tension throughout the body . They can help increase body awareness and aid in rehabilitation. The spikes target trigger points and can reduce pain and improve range of motion.

They are easy to use - just sit, lay or lean on your massage ball and use your body weight to apply pressure to a tight muscle.

A Spiky Ball can also be used to help release tension in aching muscles after long hours spent in the office or after a workout. It can get to those hard to reach areas such as the upper back, buttocks and feet.

We have massage balls for sale at our clinic for just $10. Ask your osteopath if a massage ball would be helpful for you. To book an appointment call 03 355 6166 or online at osteo.co.nz
