As Osteopaths we can help with restricted joints in the middle of the spine, poor posture, restricted movement in the rib cage which can impact breathing following a trauma for example. We also help with posture due scoliosis, pregnancy, carrying a child or breastfeeding. However, sometimes mid back or chest pain can be a sign of stomach, heart or lunch problems or gastric reflux which if we believe a pain is due to underlying issues we then refer for further investigation
