What Can Osteopathy do for you?
Back Pain
This is perhaps the commonest problem the osteopath sees, be it neck, middle or lower back pain. Injuries such as lifting strains, whiplash and postural problems may all be relieved through osteopathic treatment; good advice and treatment may help avoid further back pain problems in the future.
Childhood
As children develop into teenagers and young adults their bodies face many stresses and strains. Specialist Osteopathic Children Clinics exist to help young bodies cope with life, and your local osteopath can give advice and treatment for a range of problems in children of any age.
Peripheral Joints
Joints such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, wrists and ankles are also treated by osteopathy. Whether troubled with arthritis, sprains, sports injuries or over-use, an osteopath may well be able to help you.
Older Age
As older age is reached, wear and tear may begin to become a problem in almost any part of the body. With osteopathy, relief from pain can be achieved, improving mobility and aiding quality of life. There is no age limit to osteopathic treatment.
Backache
Does your back ache after prolonged sitting? In the car or after bending/digging in the garden? If the answer is YES - that is not normal and you shouldn't have to put up with this. The osteopath should be able to explain why this is happening and may be able to help with treatment.
