What conditions do Osteopaths deal with?

Osteopathy treat of a wide variety of musculo-skeletal problems, but it also has a role to play in the management of a number of other conditions. The most common complaints for which patients consult Osteopaths include: 

  • back and neck pain,
  • sciatica,
  • headaches,
  • pains in peripheral joints such as shoulders, knees and ankles, tendinitis and muscle strains,
  • work-related and repetitive strain injuries, and
  • sports-related injuries.

However, Osteopathy can also play a significant role in pain management or when used in conjunction with medical treatment. 

Many mothers-to-be find Osteopathic treatment very beneficial both to reduce back pain during pregnancy and also to help prepare the body for birth. In addition, there is a wide variety of gentle non-manipulative techniques for use on infants and small children.
