I’ve recently been asked by a number of patients what is the most common area of the body that people seek attention for at Blackburn Osteopathy.
As such, I’ve checked back through the first 2 months of this year and come up with the following list from the most common reason to the least.
Lower back/pelvis – 30.2%
Upper/middle back – 22.5%
Neck – 19.3%
Shoulder – 7.3%
Hip – 6.1%
Headache – 4.9%
Knee – 2.9%
Foot/ankle – 2%
Elbow – 2%
Leg – 1.6%
Wrist/hand – 1.2%
Of course, a number of the patients that visited Blackburn Osteopathy had more than 1 area of pain and there is some crossover between things like neck pain and headaches. For the purpose of this article, I only listed the main complaint.
