Treatment
Osteopathy aims to return patients to health through manual therapy and exercise. Osteopaths are highly trained healthcare professionals who are experts in the musculo-skeletal system and how it interlinks with other systems in the body.
Osteopathy is suitable for everyone from the newborn to the elderly and from the sedentary to the elite athlete. We treat anything from the head to the foot and aim to relieve pain and improve function with the aim of preventing future problems.
Every patient is an individual and as such we have a huge range of techniques we use, from manipulation (the cracking of joints), to gentle articulation and soft tissue techniques, to other indirect methods such as cranial and visceral techniques.
We treat;
Back pain
Neck pain
Headaches
Sciatica
Muscle injuries
Sports injuries
Joint conditions
Problems associated with getting older
Babies and children
Work related stresses
Back and muscle pain
Whether you are experiencing acute pain from an accident or suffering from a persistent discomfort, we are able to assess your situation and provide lasting treatment. Learn more about treatment for back and muscle pain.
Cranial osteopathy
Ideal for relieving the effects of stresses and strains, cranial osteopathy is a gentle technique to release tension in the body. This relieves pain and discomfort, and restores the normal ease of movement of the spine. For the longer term, this can reduce wear and tear on the spine. Learn more about cranial osteopathy.
During pregnancy
Osteopathy can help you prepare for an easy birth. Good structural balance in the joints of the pelvis and lumbar spine can aid the baby’s chances of engaging in the correct position and finding the easiest way through the birth canal. Joint restrictions in this area can easily and safely be corrected through osteopathic treatment. Discover more about treatment during pregnancy.
Osteopathy and arthritis
Many people mistakenly assume that arthritis is untreatable and that they must learn to live with their symptoms. The treatment we offer is aimed at improving mobility and reducing inflammation by using gentle, manual osteopathic techniques on joints, muscles and ligaments. You will be given positive advice related to your lifestyle about how you use your body. Discover more about treatment for Arthritis.
Sport injury
We can work with you to prevent or treat common sporting issues, from muscle injury to ligament damage. We identify the causes of dysfunction and then treat the problems that occur due to wear-and-tear, poor posture, injury or stress. Learn more about treatment for sports related injury.
Babies and children
We can treat a variety of common complaints and ensure healthy postural development in infants. From early challenges with feeding or sleep, to difficulties with mobility and play, we can provide relief to babies using gentle, non intrusive techniques. As our children grow, they undergo huge changes in the body, we can provide treatment that helps them adjust to the daily demands made on it. Discover more about treatment for babies and children.
