What is Osteopathy?
A common misconception is that Osteopaths can only treat back and bone pain. Osteopathy is the treatment of the whole of the musculo skeletal system, which includes Chronic low back pain, Headaches and Sports Injuries.
Osteopathy & pregnancy
Osteopaths can help to ease side effects of pregnancy such as heartburn, indigestion, constipation and pain in the buttock, groin or leg (commonly called sciatica). Some patients report reduced morning sickness after osteopathic treatment.
Osteopathy & babies
It is a common belief that babies and children should have no structural stresses or strains in their bodies, because they are 'so young'. The reality is very different. Birth is one of the most stressful events of our lives.
Osteopathy & children
Osteopathic treatment can be invaluable in optimising the health of babies and children, as well as addressing a wide range of conditions such as Irritability and crying especially when lying down, colic & glue ear.
