Back Pain
Lower back pain is the most common reason people see an osteopath. It can be caused by sedentary lifestyle, stress, musculoskeletal conditions and many more. After a thorough assessment, treatment may include soft tissue work, joint mobilisation and advice on movement and exercises to help stop the pain from coming back.
Neck Pain and Shoulder Tension
Desk work, phone use, stress and awkward sleeping positions often lead to a stiff, painful neck and tight shoulders. Osteopathic treatment aims to ease muscle tension, improve movement in the neck and upper back, and give you practical advice for your workspace and daily habits.
Sciatica
Sciatica is pain travelling from the lower back or buttock down the lower limb, sometimes with tingling or numbness. It is a symptom, not a diagnosis!! Osteopathy can help by working on tension and restriction around the lower back, pelvis and hips. If you have severe or worsening symptoms, such as leg weakness or changes in bladder or bowel control, seek urgent medical care.
Jaw Pain (TMJ)
Jaw pain, clicking, teeth grinding and tension around the face are often linked to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles around it. Gentle treatment of the jaw, neck and upper back can help reduce tension and discomfort.
Headaches
There are a multitude of headaches! Tension-type headaches are the most frequent, encountered in treatments. Headaches can be connected to tightness in the neck, shoulders and jaw, as well as posture and stress. Osteopathic treatment may help relieve that tension. Frequent or severe headaches should always be checked by a doctor.
Sports Injuries
Whether you run, lift, cycle or play team sports, osteopathy can support your recovery from strains, sprains and overuse injuries, and help restore mobility so you can get back to training.
Other Conditions We Treat
Joint pain (hip, knee, shoulder and ankle), posture problems, stress-related tension, pregnancy-related discomfort, recovery post-surgery, and preparing for an event!
