Osteopathy is a unique approach to the diagnosis and management of disease and injury. An Osteopath aims to address the cause of a problem rather than its symptoms. Each treatment is designed to accommodate a patient's needs and limitations. An Osteopath will apply various techniques including mobilisations, manipulations and soft tissue massage to treat a wide range of conditions.
Conditions Treated
Although Osteopaths treat many conditions, most people think of us as ‘back specialists’. Back pain is what many Osteopaths treat a lot of the time, but other conditions include:
Generalised aches and pains
Joint pains including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis.
Arthritic pain
General, acute & chronic backache
Neck pain
Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic) / migraine prevention
Frozen shoulder/ shoulder and elbow pain/ tennis elbow
Circulatory problems
Cramp
Digestion problems
Sciatica
Muscle spasms
Neuralgia
Fibromyalgia
Rheumatic pain
Sports injuries and tension
Regulation and Training
To qualify, an Osteopath must study for four to five years for an undergraduate degree. This is similar to a medical degree, with more emphasis on anatomy and musculoskeletal medicine and includes more than 1,000 hours of training in Osteopathic techniques. By law, Osteopaths must register with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
