Osteopathy
Osteopaths treat more than just back pain and can help a great deal when it comes to a variety of different acute and chronic conditions.
They use hands-on manual therapy to stretch, massage, move and manipulate joints with the aim of increasing mobility, relieving muscular tension and enhancing blood and nerve supply to the tissues in the body. This treatment can restore balance and help to alleviate pain without the use of drugs or surgery.
Our osteopaths may also offer exercises, advice and strategies to help support your treatment and aid your recovery, giving you the control back on managing your symptoms at home.
Osteopaths are regulated, primary healthcare professionals who will take the time to listen to your symptoms and encourage you to talk about all aspects of your health – you can see an osteopath with multiple complaints as osteopaths treat the body as a whole.
Who Can Benefit From Osteopathy?
Osteopathy takes a holistic, whole-body approach to your healthcare. We don’t just concentrate only on the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance all the body systems, and to provide overall good health and wellbeing. Many people can benefit from osteopathy, which can treat a broad range of health conditions in a gentle, safe and effective way. They are trained to diagnose and identify “red flags” which may need referral to other healthcare professionals where appropriate, including GPs, A&E or private imaging & consultants.
Your osteopath can help with a range of issues, including general aches and pains, along with joint and arthritic pain; acute and chronic back ache and neck pain including whiplash injuries, Sciatica and Lumbago; migraines and cervicogenic headache (arising from the neck); circulatory and digestive problems; muscle spasms and cramp; and Neuralgia and Fibromyalgia.
Headache Clinic
Our headache clinic is the perfect way to explore the cause of your headaches and find the best possible treatment. We’ll begin by taking a thorough medical history, before checking your blood pressure and reflexes, performing an eye examination and cranial nerve test, assessing your neck movements and analysing your gait.
Finding relief from headaches isn’t always easy. Understanding the root cause of your headaches and treating that is critical. Otherwise you’re left continually popping painkillers to treat the headache alone. Our headache clinic is a great port of call if you suffer from tension headaches, cervicogenic headaches, migraines, cluster headaches, trigeminal neuralgia, whiplash injuries, or dystonia (cervical torticollis).
Should you need referring to a GP or neurologist, we can do so. We’re also able to run blood tests and an MRI of your neck and brain if needed.
