Many people think that osteopaths just deal with bones or muscles, or backs and necks. In fact osteopathy covers a huge range of ailments throughout the whole body. It is a system of diagnosis and treatment primarily concerned with mechanical problems of the body, principally within the neuro- musculo- skeletal system. (ligaments, tendons, joints, muscles, nerves). In short, if it hurts when you move then it is very likely that you will benefit from osteopathic treatment.
Osteopaths, like doctors and dentists, are primary healthcare practitioners. You do not need a referral from your GP to visit us, unless you wish to take advantage of a medical insurance you may have.
Please contact us if you are unsure whether your problem is amenable to osteopathy. We can generally clarify this on the 'phone.
