I am a registered and insured Osteomyologist and although I qualified as an Osteopath I am not registered as such.
Back pain, whiplash, sciatica, neck pain, shoulder problems, knee pain (including lack of mobility and degenerative conditions), elbow and wrist injuries, foot and ankle complaints, reduced joint flexibility, tendonitis, sprains and strains (including pulled muscles) and sports injuries.
If necessary a tailored exercise plan is provided to enable and maintain stability, strength and good posture.
You will be asked to fill in a short form about your medical history and you will then be asked some appropriate questions about the problem you are experiencing. It will then be necessary for you to get undressed down to your underwear so that an examination can be conducted and treatment can be started if appropriate.
If for any reason I believe that my modes of treatment would be unsuitable, then I may ask you to visit your Doctor.
This depends on the type of Injury/Condition you have and can vary considerably. As a guide 3 to 4 treatments might be necessary. In some cases regular maintenance treatments can help to prevent reoccurrence of the presenting complaint and help to sustain relief from pain.
Treatment is exceptionally effective if the condition is treated within the first six weeks of the injury. The longer that you leave the problem the longer it might take to resolve. Early action is important, but treatment can also be effective for chronic pain and longstanding problems.
