Osteopathy
Osteopathy at The London Road Clinic addresses musculoskeletal issues through hands-on techniques. Our practitioners use joint manipulation, soft tissue work, and exercise prescription to relieve pain and improve mobility. This holistic approach treats conditions like back pain, arthritis, and sports injuries, focusing on restoring the body's natural balance. Patients benefit from tailored care plans that integrate posture advice and rehabilitation exercises for long-term wellness.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture treatments utilise fine needles to stimulate energy flow and address chronic pain, stress, and digestive issues. Practitioner Kate specialises in combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern insights for conditions like migraines and fertility support. Sessions promote relaxation and healing through targeted meridian stimulation, with a focus on individualised care plans. Patients report improved sleep and reduced inflammation after completing treatment courses.
Sports Injuries
Specialised care for sports-related injuries includes kinesiology taping, joint mobilisation, and biomechanical analysis. We treat conditions like tennis elbow, shin splints, and ligament sprains using evidence-based protocols. The clinic offers sport-specific rehabilitation programmes to accelerate recovery and prevent re-injury. Athletes benefit from gait analysis and performance optimisation advice tailored to their training needs.
Paediatric Osteopathy
Gentle osteopathic treatments for infants and children address developmental issues and musculoskeletal discomfort. Alex Earle's postgraduate paediatric training ensures safe care for young patients with conditions like plagiocephaly and torticollis. Treatment involves subtle cranial techniques and parental guidance on positioning and movement. Parents report improved sleep patterns and reduced colic symptoms following structured treatment plans.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy employs delicate techniques to address headaches, TMJ dysfunction, and sinus issues. Practitioners use precise palpation to detect tension patterns in cranial bones and surrounding tissues. This subtle approach benefits patients seeking non-invasive solutions for chronic migraines and post-concussion symptoms. Sessions often produce immediate relaxation responses while addressing long-standing structural imbalances.
