Osteopathy - conditions treated

Osteoarthritis – the most common symptom of getting older, can be found in any joint including the spine and causes aching, pain and stiffness. Gentle osteopathic treatment improves circulation around the joint, improves mobility and slows the rate of deterioration. Exercises and stretches help increase mobility of the joints.

Congested sinuses – trauma to the face or retained birth compression can result in poor drainage of the sinuses, so causing congestion and pain. Gentle manipulative pressure from the osteopath using the cranial approach can release these tensions effectively.

Knee, hip and ankle arthritic pain – caused either through injury or occurring naturally with age, can be relieved by gentle manipulative techniques.

Osteopathy during pregnancy – the spine changes shape as the baby grows. Old injuries may flare up or certain areas of the spine may become compressed. Gentle manipulative techniques can help release spinal tensions, so making the back more comfortable.
