Getting Help with Undiagnosed Back Pain in the Stoke Newington Area N16
Finding the cause of your discomfort and the correct treatment for it, can be an overwhelming task. Often a symptom may appear as a cause.
If you have yet to find the cause of your pain, or perhaps a doctor has been unable to suitably diagnosis and has put you on a waiting list, we at Shine would initially suggest you see either a Physiotherapist or an Osteopath. One may refer you to the other depending upon the systemic cause of your condition, be it neurological, muscular or skeletal. However both practices have diagnostic capabilities and will be able to begin your programme of recovery with you.
