What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a medical therapy focused on detecting, treating, and preventing health problems by addressing musculoskeletal issues. Osteopaths are highly trained professionals skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide variety of conditions affecting muscles, joints, and bones. This treatment, classified as 'manual therapy,' often involves moving, stretching, manipulating, and massaging the joints and muscles. Patients typically seek osteopathic care for back pain, neck pain, headaches and joint or muscle discomfort in areas such as the hip, elbow, shoulder or knee.
Does Osteopathy Work?
Osteopathy is an effective treatment recognized by the NHS and are classified as Allied Health Professionals. Osteopaths undergo degree level training and are skilled healthcare practitioners who provide manual therapy treatments that aid in the recovery of various musculoskeletal complaints. Our profession is regulated by the General Osteopathic Council, ensuring high standards of care. Osteopathy serves as an excellent alternative to chiropractic or physiotherapy treatments.
