Osteopaths use hands on manual therapy to treat problems arising from the musculoskeletal system.
Common things we see:
- Lower back pain
- Sciatica and disc injuries
- Upper back and neck pain
- Headaches
- Jaw pain
- Overuse injuries
- Shoulder, elbow and wrist pain
- Bursitis and tendonitis
- Pelvic pain
- Muscle strains
- Sporting injuries
- Hip, groin and gluteal pain
- Knee pain and stiffness
- Arthritic and joint pain
- Pregnancy related pain
- Ankle sprains
- Heel and foot pain
- Postural imbalance
Osteopaths try to accurately diagnose the cause. This is why we assess the whole body in order to find where the system is functionally restricted and been predisposed to injury.
