OSTEOPATHY

About OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment concerned with the structure and mechanical problems of the body. It uses manipulation, neuro-muscular techniques, massage, stretching, and exercises.

Backache is most frequently treated, as well as pain in all parts of the body from injury, accident, overstraining, and wear and tear.

When considering Osteopathy, it might be helpful to think of the treatment as returning the body to a state free of the muscle tightness, which in time has pulled the spine out of alignment or stressed the joints causing pain.


What Conditions Can it Help?
Backache, sciatica, headaches, frozen shoulder, fibromyalgia, sports injuries and general aches and pains of musculo-skeletal origin in any part of the body.
