Proven Lower Back Pain Relief
This is a unique programme to Devon where Hugh combines modalities of osteopathy and acupuncture to provide a window of relief, which be exploited to improve strength of your spine.
Improving the strength in your lower back is what provides lasting relief.
​
Lower back pain (LBP) is much like the mythical hydra. For too long practitioners have treated one angle only for another head to appear and produce pain.
Hugh has created a multi-facetd programme that is unique to Devon.

How does this work?
Why shoulder i pay to see Hugh?
As an Osteopath Hugh works at a multidisciplinary clinic with physios and chiropractors. He has taken the best of these worlds, combined it with acupuncture, and then layered strength training knowledge from formal qualifications and his time as an Officer in the Royal Marines.
This represents a unique package that is unrivalled in Devon.

Some Science
Pain can create memory of the pain experience in the brain, which can lead to heightened sensitivity and even pain in the absence of an injury.
Acupuncture can "unlearn" the pain memory, reducing brain activity in regions associated with pain processing.
​
Whilst this occurs your home exercises will build strength in your spine in only 5 mins a day. Exercise is a key component in treating LBP.
What does all this mean?
Means you can get your life back.
Means you can live your life as you want. This means you can play with your grandkids without being in pain.
Means you can walk without being in pain.
This means you can bend forward and pick up objects without being in pain.
I have seen this change peoples’ lives and that means the world to me.
How long is the treatment?
Initial consultation is an hour with follow up treatment lasting 30 minutes. Typically you will need to commit to 4-5 weeks of weekly sessions. We will then look to move appointments to bi-monthly, then monthly and from there we can develop a long term plan together.
​
However, if you get benefits quickly then great! My aim is always to move you out of weekly appointments to bi-monthly as fast as possible. Everyone is different, and that is represented here.
Where is Hugh located?
Hugh works in Newton Abbott on Torquay road, near penn inn roundabout and in Dawlish.
I have had pain for 30 years, can Hugh help?
Absolutely. Hugh has had success with people who have had decades of pain, who have also had surgery.
​
For some, success is getting their pain from an 8 out of 10 to a 3, others is removing it completely. Again, everyone is different and Hugh understands that.

Chronic lower back pain is multifaceted, affecting muscles, joints, brain, proprioception and more. Chronic pain can also leave a memory, therefore a key component is reprogramming the brain pathways to make sure they are not hypersensitive to pain. Make sure your treatment matches the nature of your pain.
