It is important not to be frightened of your symptoms and to try to keep active. They are an important part of the process of getting better. For home help in these situations you can often get relief from using a cold or hot pack for about 5 minutes or alternatively 1minute hot / 1minute cold for 6 minutes and finish with cold, or from anti-inflammatories if your gut can tolerate these.
If you decide to seek help your Osteopath will discuss your problem with you and give you postural advice, basic exercises or relaxation techniques to help you manage this phase and get you on the road to recovery and feeling better. They will also come up with a treatment plan.
