Sciatica
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
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
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.
Arthritis and Old Age
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.
