How can it help you?

Osteopathic treatment is most commonly sought for musculo-skeletal problems such as:

- back and neck pain

- sciatica

- headaches/migraines

- joint pain

- postural and/or mobility problems

- sports-related injuries

- motor vehicle accident related injuries

- repetitive strain/workplace related injuries

Osteopathy can also play a significant role in pain management in arthritic conditions, and when used in conjunction with medical treatment, can be of value in reducing the severity of symptoms in conditions such as asthma, gynecological dysfunction and chronic fatigue. 

Many mothers-to-be find Osteopathic treatment very beneficial. The goal of Osteopathic treatment during pregnancy is to reduce pain and prepare the body for birth, this is done by maximizing the body’s ability to adjust and compensate for the changes as efficiently as possible.  The techniques used during pregnancy are carefully selected in order to minimize the risk. Osteopathic treatment is also beneficial after the delivery of your child (post-partum) as it helps restore the normal mechanics of the back and pelvis.

In addition, there is a wide variety of gentle non-manipulative techniques for use on infants and small children. These can be used in the management of problems such as forceps trauma, infant colic and "glue ear."

Osteopathy has one of the best safety records of any medically related profession.
