How Can Osteopathy Help me?
Osteopathic care is effective for acute pain, but really comes into its own as far as treating chronic pain resulting from disorders of the musculoskeletal system is concerned.
Because of the way the body functions as an integrated whole, and because, as one of the tenets of osteopathy is that "structure governs function", structural compromise can affect many of the body's systems. This means that many conditions which may appear unrelated may show improvement through osteopathic treatment.
​
The more common conditions amenable to treatment include:
​
Any type of pain from the back and neck to every joint (Hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, feet etc )
Low Back Pain, Sciatica, & Disc Injury
Trapped Nerves
Neuralgia
