When to see a doctor or call 112

Call 112 or go to A&E (urgencias) when back pain comes with any of the following (list based on the NHS):

  • Pain, tingling, weakness or numbness in both legs.
  • A loss of feeling around your genitals or anus.
  • Changes in your bladder or bowels, such as difficulty peeing, or peeing or pooing yourself.
  • Changes in how your penis or vagina feels during sex.
  • Chest pain.
  • It started after a serious accident, such as a car accident.

Ask for an urgent appointment with your doctor today if you feel hot, cold, shivery or generally unwell. Do the same if the pain is severe and starts suddenly, or gets worse quickly.

See your doctor if it does not improve after treating it at home for a few weeks. Also see your doctor if it’s stopping you doing your day-to-day activities, or if you’re worried about the pain or struggling to cope.

Osteopathy does not replace your doctor or any medication you have been prescribed.

How I work with each person

Everyone is welcome in osteopathy, whatever their work or sport.

I don’t work on one isolated area on its own: I look at your body as one single, indivisible unit. Osteopathy does not treat symptoms or injuries: its purpose is to help people, and it works on the body as a whole, as one indivisible functional unit.

How I work: the first visit and the sessions

The first visit is the Comprehensive Body Assessment: 60 minutes at the clinic. I observe and listen to you, assess your case and do some first hands-on work.

  1. Case history. I listen to you and assess your case.
  2. The whole body. I look at your body as one single, indivisible unit.
  3. Hands-on work. Thorough, hands-on sessions.
  4. Exercises for home. I also give you personalised posture recommendations and exercises for home.

I am Juan Manuel Morales Tamajón, osteopath and biomechanics expert. I have been in clinical practice since 2017.

If in doubt, or if I can’t work on your case, I recommend you see your doctor. Osteopathy does not replace your doctor or any medication you have been prescribed.
