We successfully treat many kinds of musculo-skeletal problems that can be grouped as follows;
INJURIES
You know what you did that caused the problem but your body needs help to repair quickly. Whether the damage has occured to muscles, ligaments or joints we will be able to diagnose your problem and develop an appropriate treatment plan to aid in your recovery.
OLD OR RECURRENT INJURIES
Sometimes following an injury a recurrent or persistent problem develops. This is when a joint, ligament or muscle that was damaged never fully recovers. This can be due to a variety of possibilities for which osteopaths are skilled at finding and correcting, thus treating the cause and not just the symptoms.
DEGENERATIVE
Whilst we cannot turn the clock back and cure degenerative problems, such as arthritis, Osteopathic treatment is a gentle and effective way to encourage movement back into the joints and increase the health of the muscles, easing the pain and restoring you to your activities.
POSTURAL
Sometimes you simply do not know when or what started the problem. The symptoms might have gradually developed and built up over time or become noticeable whilst doing certain things such as working at the computer. These symptoms usually have a structural component to them that Osteopaths are able to recognise and correct. We are also able to give advice about your posture and how to correct it by prescribing exercises that will help to maintain the body’s natural strength and balance.
