What I treat
Osteopathy covers more than just backs. Below are the presentations I see in clinic most often. Whatever the presentation, it always starts with a thorough assessment to find out what’s actually going on and an honest opinion about how I can help (including when I can’t).
Back Pain
General back aches, both sudden and longer-lasting, including that day-to-day stiffness that limits your activities. This is the most common reason people come to see me.
Neck Pain
Neck pain and stiffness when turning your head or that goes into your shoulders. This can be desk-based, activity-related, or could have arrived out of nowhere.
Headaches
Headaches that come from muscle tension and spasm in the neck. This also includes treatment to help prevent migraine.
Sciatica
That pain shooting down your leg that can go into the foot and can include numbness and tingling.
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain that limits how much you can move your arms and can include conditions such as frozen shoulder.
Sports Injuries
Minor sports injuries like strains in the gym or the knocks picked up playing the sport you love, that end up holding back your training.
Hip Pain
Pain in and around the hip, buttocks or groin that you notice when climbing stairs, walking, or that nags when you’re sitting down or in bed.
Knee Pain
That aching in the knee that gets in the way of daily life and limits what you can do. This can include pain from knee osteoarthritis.
Arthritic Pain
The aches, pains and stiffness that can come on as we age and are often more noticeable in the mornings, doing your daily activities or when the weather turns.
