Osteopathy can be used to help treat
Back & Neck Pain
Back pain, especially low back pain accounts for 60% of our patients pains. Neck pain isn't far behind. Both can be quite debilitating and effect our work as well as our rest. Over tight or Spasmed muscles, or even disc bulges (slipped disc) can trap nerves and cause radiating pain, pins & needles, numbness or even weakness in muscle strength. Osteopaths use a range of techniques to help relieve these symptoms.
Arthritic & Rheumatic Pain
Unbalanced muscles can lead to uneven wear of joints which can lead to degeneration of the joints. This is known as osteo-arthritis, it is very common and can be very painful and cause swelling especially when the arthritis is forming. Osteopaths aim to balance out the muscles and lessen the uneven wear and tear on the joints relieving pain. They also help the fluid dynamics and lessen swelling.
Sports Injuries & Performance
Sports injuries are often very acute and come on suddenly due to injury. Early treatment can hugely benifit and improve the rate and quality of repair. Sports injuries can also come in the form of repetative strain similar to work related pain. Osteopaths can treat sprains, strains, tears, and help rehabilitate after imobilisation following fracture. Osteopathic treatment can also increase performance by enabling the body to function correctly, and aid shock absorbtion by ensuring the ligamentous propulsion is effective.
Headaches & Migraine
Headaches can be caused by uneven blood flow to the brain usually due to muscle tension in the neck and shoulders. Osteopaths work to relieve the tension to allow the blood to flow evenly. Congested sinuses are also a common cause of head aches. These symptoms can also be helped by osteopathic treatment.
Pregnancy Pain
Pain during pregnancy is common, but even though it is common doesn't mean you have to put up with it. Osteopathy can help relieve the pain felt during pregnancy. As the body changes to accommodate the growing fetus the ligament stretch and along with change in hormone levels, the joints of the body become looser than normal. This is especially obvious in the pelvis leading to pain.
