Osteopathy is a specific way of diagnosing and treating physical problems in the spine and limbs. These can result from injury, following surgery or stress. It can also treat pain in pregnancy, and irritability and restlessness in babies.
The osteopath seeks to understand the cause and effect of an ailment. Once these are known, the treatment is aimed at re-establishing normal pain free function. This is achieved by reducing any inflammation present, restoring normal tone in the affected muscles and their covering soft tissues and increasing the range of movement in the joints.
Who can Osteopathy treat?
