Back pain is one of humanity's most frequent complaints. Back pain affects most people at some point in their lives. The spine is a complex interconnecting network of nerves, joints, muscles, tendons and ligaments, and all are capable of producing pain. Large nerves that originate in the spine and go to the legs and arms can make pain radiate to the extremities. The pain can often be divided into neck pain, upper back pain, lower back pain or tailbone pain. It may have a sudden onset or can be a chronic pain; it can be ever present or intermittent, stay in one place or radiate to other areas. It may be a dull ache, or a sharp or burning sensation. Symptoms other than pain, such as weakness, numbness or tingling may be present. There are reflexologists who can help for these sort of problems are based in Sutton In Ashfield, Central London and Berkshire.
Back pain can also be due to referred pain caused by problems with the pancreas, kidneys, uterus, or stomach. It is on the increase as many people find themselves working in jobs where they have to sit at computers for extended hours day after day - bad posture and lack of movement can all exacerbate the problem. You may find a reflexology therapist who can help you in Essex, Kingston and Saffron Walden.
Reflexology also boosts the circulation and the immune system, both of which assists the healing process and helps to speed up recovery. Reflexology has also been shown to be effective at helping to reduce inflammation which can help relieve back pain. Reflexology stimulates the release of endorphins – the body’s own natural pain killer. Therapists are available in Nottingham, New Malden and Croydon.
Different reflexologists may consider slightly different treatments for back pain, depending on their judgement of severity and specialist area of training in reflexology.
