osteopathy



	Osteopathy Osteopaths diagnose and treat abnormalities within the body structures such as muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves and joints. By correcting body mechanics (biomechanics) there is significant improvement in the function of the body which results in reduced or complete relief from symptoms such as pain, stiffness and fatigue. Osteopaths not only treat the symptoms but are also interested in the cause of the symptoms. Once the cause has been indentified the osteopath will give the patient advice in order to help prevent symptoms in the future. Osteopathy can help with a wide range of conditions including: > Back and Joint neck pain > Joint pain, hip, knee, ankle/foot, shoulder, elbow and wrist/hand etc. > Sciatica (leg pain) > Sports injuries > Muscular pain / tension > Headaches / migraine > Back pain in pregnancy > RSI (Repetitive strain Injuries) > Arthritic pain > Postural problems > Whiplash > Asthma > Tennis elbow > Golfers elbow > Frozen Shoulder > Jaw problems Gentle manual techniques are used to ease pain, improve mobility/flexibility, reduce swelling, improve posture and promote self-healing. If necessary, the osteopath may need to refer you for further investigation such as x-rays, scans or blood tests. Cranial Osteopathy Acupuncture
