OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to manipulation which has the philosophy of structure governs function i.e., if a spinal joint is damaged by wear or injury it cannot function properly and pain results.
Osteopathy is one of the most effective treatments for low back and neck pain.
Osteopathy looks at the structure of the spine and in fact all joints and muscles to check normal function.
Treatment is given to the problem directly by manipulation with massage and ultra-sonic therapy i.e., if the neck is painful with stiffness, it is often caused by a bone which is twisted in an abnormal position causing nerve pressure. Manipulation of the joint creates normal movement and eases pain. Treatment often gives relief after one session.
Conditions treated include back pain, sciatica, neck and shoulder pain, knee, foot and ankle problems. Sports injuries also respond well.
