Osteopathy
O
Osteopathy is a recognised hands-on safe and effective multifaceted system of manual medicine where the osteopath focuses on the muscles, joints connecting soft tissue and bones, to try identify the faults which occur because of injury, stress or disease to help the body by encouraging the body to heal itself. It is not “ proscriptive medicine”
"One of the basic principles of osteopathy is that the body has mechanisms to regulate and repair itself”
What Do Osteopaths treat?
Our Clinic audit shows that over 50% our patients suffer from back pain which result from mechanical disturbances of the spine, postural stresses disc injuries and joint derangement
Over 35% are in their 40’s where many people start losing their fitness due to many factors, increasing family and work pressures and become prone to injuries
Over 50 % are women, working mothers or the older generation, headaches whether tension or cluster type, may result from tension and stiffness in the neck. Pregnancy can increase the strain on the lower back.
Today’s lifestyle is a major contributor, work sitting in front of computer terminals, or driving long distances in a saloon motorcar, very little exercise. Repetitive Strain Injuries from the modern industrial processes.
Our Aim and focus is to improve your “Activities for Daily Living” that you undertake everyday!
Will my Doctor approve?
Increasingly, GPs are recognising Osteopathy as an effective complementary treatment, particularly for back pain. However, some are less keen to refer patients to Osteopaths . You do not need a GP's referral to visit a Osteopath
How long will it take to get better?
Your recovery is dependent on many factors - the problem, the length of time you have had it and your own commitment to any rehabilitative exercises your osteopath may recommend
