Osteopathy can help any condition which has a musculoskeletal element. People are often surprised at the range of conditions we are able to treat and the diversity of patients with whom we work.
Osteopaths treat a wide range of patients. Children and even babies can benefit from osteopathy to recover from injury and to facilitate healthy spinal alignment. We also treat pregnant women, who often find great benefits in osteopathy.
Sciatica is caused by a problem with the sicatic nerve, which runs from the lower back down into the legs. Typically you will experience pain on one side or the other, as one of the nerves is pinched or trapped. Osteopathic treatment aims to release pressure from the sciatic nerve, relieving the pain.
Children and teens can benefit from osteopathy as a growing and changing body can cause various pains and discomfort. Teens also regularly suffer from sports injuries or poor posture. Osteopathy can help to keep your child healthy and happy.
Pregnancy causes huge postural changes in the body, and a shift of the centre of gravity as the body adapts to carrying the extra weight. After childbirth, picking children up and carrying them can cause further stress to the back and spine. Regular osteopathy can help your back to stay strong and pain-free.
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common conditions to affect older people, causing pain and loss of movement. Osteopathy can help to release the joint and increase or maintain its normal range of motion. Osteopaths also work on mobilising adjacent joints to support the painful area.
I offer a free telephone consultation to all new patients. If you're unsure whether osteopathy could help your particular condition, please give me a call to discuss. I can explain how osteopathy could help and what other courses of treatment might be available to you.
Osteopaths are trained in a wide variety of medical practices and know when another treatment might be more appropriate or where you may need a referral to your GP or another service. Speak to me today and I can point you in the right direction for the treatment you need.
