OSTEOPATHY

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY? 

Osteopathy is a system of diagnosing and treating problems with the body’s structure and mechanics. Osteopaths believe that the body’s innate ability to heal itself can be encouraged and significantly accelerated by osteopathic treatment. They also believe that an efficient structural system can promote long term health and wellbeing and ultimately prevent future injury, dysfunction and pain. 

WHAT CAN OSTEOPATHY TREAT?

Osteopaths treat a wide variety of problems, not only in the spine but throughout the whole body, including: 

• Neck and back pain
• Sciatica
• Shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand pain (including carpal tunnel syndrome)
• Pelvic and hip pain
• Knee, ankle and foot pain
• Jaw pain and neuralgia
• Minor sports injuries
• Arthritic pain
• Muscle tension, cramps and spasms
• Work and posture related pain
