The past few weeks we have been closely following guidance to adapt the clinics and develop new procedures in order to make the clinic as safe as possible for you when you arrive for your appointment. Osteopathy is able to aid healing, encourage healthy tissues and reduce pain levels cross the whole body from babies to the elderly. Osteopathy is non-invasive and can treat a wide variety of conditions.

We recognise that each patient is different and so the type of treatment you receive will be tailored for you and your individual diagnosis. Explaining what we are doing and what we want to achieve in treatment is important and so questions during the consultation are welcomed. We may refer you to your GP for other investigations such as an X-ray or blood test or to recommend an MRI from an appropriate Consultant.

This is partly due to pain, but mostly because they are scared of doing further damage. Keeping your joints moving is tantamount when it comes to reducing the pain and inflammation of arthritis. Pain is not nice and stops you from moving the joint comfortably. The main reason we get pain with joint degeneration is due to inflammation and muscle spasm, not the joint itself. Once pain sets in you start to avoid using the joint.
