Conditions that we treat
If you have a problem with your muscles or joints it is very likely that we have seen it before and that we are able to treat it.
Back pain
4 out of 5 people experience back pain at some time in their lives. Although it can be very painful, it is usually not serious and can be effectively treated with osteopathy or physiotherapy. There are many causes of back pain and our practitioners are trained to diagnose the cause of your particular symptoms. 60% of what we do is treat back pain.
Neck and shoulder tension, and headaches
Incorrect posture and cervical spondylosis can cause the muscles in your neck and at the base of your skull to tighten and lead to headaches. We assess your joint movement and areas of muscle tension to identify the cause of your symptoms.
Pain from some types of arthritis
We all wear and tear. It is a normal process and will affect us all to some extent at some time in our lives. Osteoarthritis is a condition characterised by pain and stiffness in the joints accompanied by loss of movement. We can often reduce the pain and improve the amount of movement but this is dependent on how advanced the arthritis is and at what stage it is.
Frozen shoulder
Not every painful and stiff shoulder is a true frozen shoulder. Shoulders are complicated and should be examined carefully. The medical term for frozen shoulder is adhesive capsulitis and it requires a very specific treatment approach. We are experienced in diagnosing and treating this condition and can give you advice on how to exercise it.
Postural strain
Osteopaths and physiotherapists are highly skilled at assessing a person’s posture. Many of the strains from which we suffer are due to postural imbalances or compensations. Often the pain is some distance from the cause of the problem and our approach is to find and treat the causes of a problem rather than just trying to treat the symptoms.
