and many other health conditions.

Osteopaths are trained to a high standard

and are able to diagnose and treat a wide

range of musculo - skeletal problems and health

issues. These may include sports injuries, disc

problems in the back and neck, muscle spasms,

trapped nerves and headaches.

At our clinic we provide a thorough case history,

examination and treatment on the first visit. We

recommend patients attend in shorts or tracksuit

bottoms. Treatment gowns are provided for

when we need to examine and treat areas like

the lower back.

Osteopaths use a wide range of techniques to

treat problems like lower back pain, disc

problems or sciatica. The treatment techniques

used vary from each patient. Techniques

used by Osteopaths include soft tissue

stretching, spinal manipulation, joint

mobilizing, cranial osteopathy to relax tissue

tensions and exercise prescription.

The Osteopaths approach to back pain

is very different to Physiotherapy. Often

patients who have found Physiotherapy

was not able to resolve their lower

back pain or disc problems turn to

Osteopaths and find it's approach beneficial.

Similarly Chiropractors use different techniques

to Osteopaths. Although both use spinal

manipulation Osteopaths also concentrate

their focus on soft tissues such as muscles

when treating.
