Osteopathy for adults

Osteopathy is an effective treatment for pain, tension and stiffness relating to the body’s framework. This includes back and neck pain, sciatica, trapped nerves, sports injuries, shoulder problems, any other joint pain including wrist/elbow/knee etc, arthritic pain, muscle tension and spasm, cramp, neuralgia and various types of headache and migraine. It can also help you relax.

At your first appointment we will:

a) start off by investigating the underlying causes of your symptoms through asking about the history of your problems, assessing your posture, movements and your reaction to some simple tests (such as reflexes)

b) explain to you the diagnosis reached and, with your consent, treat you based on that diagnosis using a range of treatment techniques chosen to suit your complaint and your body type

c) explain how quickly we expect you to feel better after this treatment, tell you some simple do’s and don’ts, show you some exercises where necessary, advise you how many treatments we think your condition may need.

At the end of your appointment there is time to pay for your consultation and book your next appointment if one is necessary.

In between appointments please ring or email us if you have any questions.
