Back Pain
The Leigham Practice has been a multidisciplinary centre specialising in back pain & sciatica for a generation and we have a tremendous amount of expertise and evidence-based equipment available.
Our physiotherapy and osteopathy team aim to identify the origin and cause of the pain by moving different parts of the body, termed ‘neurodynamics’. By understanding why the back pain is occurring, it is possible to offer exceptionally targeted treatment or a cure.
Cranial Osteopathy
Many people assume that Cranial Osteopathy is osteopathy that is only applied to the head, yet although time is spent applying light pressures to the skull, we can apply Cranial Osteopathy throughout the body. We often describe it as a delicate form of osteopathy where gentle pressures, movements and manipulations releases stresses and strains throughout the body.

When injury or incapacity strikes, you need to be in the hands of a clinic with the expertise to get you back to fitness or work as quickly as possible.

What people say about us
Why have treatment at Leigham Practice?
If you’re asking why come to Leigham Practice for treatment, you are asking the right question – why? These days, many patients and healthcare professionals are concerned about finding out what symptoms relate to. For example, if you’ve a pain in your ankle pain, both you and your doctor or therapist will want to know what is causing the pain. Is it because there is a tear to a ligament, or arthritis of the joint, or a problem with the tendon, or the pinching of a nerve? But finding out and treating the cause of the pain is one thing, and sounds like it should do the job, but this might mean you are only treating the symptoms. At Leigham Practice, we don’t just want to find out what your problems are; we want to understand why they are. In fact, if you have a problem, just forget about what the problem is, and ask yourself why it is? If you can do something about why you have a problem, you might find a cure – and now you’re thinking like us. If you’re asking why come to Leigham Practice, you now have your answer. You should come here, because ‘why’ is the question we ask all the time to give you the best possible results. We don’t just aim to treat a problem – we aim to cure.
What’s the difference between physiotherapy and osteopathy?
When we put our team together and ask them to explain to us their differences, they can’t. Both treat injuries and trauma, both help problems associated with illness and disease, and both help people recover from surgery. They both have a holistic approach, meaning they do not just look at your problems in isolation, but take into account your health, medication, sports, activities and many other factors so they can give you the most effective treatments.
What do your team treat?
The treat problems affecting the skeleton (made up of bones, muscles, tendons, joints, ligaments, nerves and blood vessels), the way it works, the way it changes over time and other problems that affect it, such as sports, injuries, illness and disease, and surgery. At Leigham Practice, we support our team with the most advanced and effective therapies, such as Low Lever Laser Therapy, and have the support of diagnostic equipment such as Doppler ultrasound and ultrasound imaging.
