It’s not necessary for you to be experiencing symptoms on the day of treatment, and sometimes it is easier to find the underlying strain patterns in the body when there is less pain generating a protective response. Most back pain is more easily treated before it becomes severe, so think prevention as much as cure.
No GP referral is necessary.
Contrary to popular belief Osteopaths do not only treat backs nor do we only deal with bones. We treat conditions occurring throughout the whole body where problems within the musculoskeletal systems may cause problems.
I work closely in conjunction with GPs, specialists and other practitioners to ensure you are as comfortable and well as you can be.
Commonly treated conditions include:
back and neck pain (acute and chronic)
sciatica
postural problems
minor sporting injuries e.g. tennis/golfers elbow, shin splints
muscle and joint deterioration
restricted mobility and occupational ill-health
nerve pain
arthritic pain
headaches arising from the neck, and migraine prevention
shoulder & elbow problems where they arise from the back &/or neck
frozen shoulder
digestive problems
These are examples – for more information contact me.
