Treatable Conditions

Osteopathic treatment is a holistic approach to optimum patient health and well being, it incorporates a concept and philosophy that looks at restoring the faulty factors that have lead to ill health to a more optimum balance so that the symptoms resolve and the underlying cause is affected to avoid future repercussions.

Treatment is ‘hands on’ manual, taking up various forms and styles, from massage, mobilising, gentle manipulation, stretching, cranial and visceral techniques. Osteopaths will also advise on lifestyle, diet, exercises, ergonomics and posture.

Osteopathic treatment can influence a great many musculoskeletal problems, including back pain, joint problems, arthritis and a large number of work related injuries, postural problems, sports injuries, pregnancy back pain, tension headaches, some breathing problems (by influencing the diaphragm and ribs) and some eating and restlessness problems with new borns. This list is not endless but the scope for osteopathy is very wide ranging.
