Osteopathic Treatment :

Osteopathy is a system of manual treatment whose aim is to restore impaired blood and nerve supply to muscular skeletal structures. For example, an osteopath looks at back pain in relation to the whole spine, pelvis, lower limbs and associated muscular tension.

The aim is to correct problems in the body’s structure making it easier for the body to function normally and reducing the chances of problems occurring in the future. An osteopath often stretches the soft tissue around the joint to bring back the total range of movement. An osteopath will also advise on posture, lifestyle, exercises and stress in order to minimize re-occurrence of the complaint.

Osteopaths spend a minimum of 4 years training in anatomy, physiology, biomechanics, biochemistry, disease processes and clinical examination.

Osteopaths use scientific knowledge of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics. They use clinical methods of investigation. Osteopathic medicine takes into account things like nutrition and psychological habits in addition to physical symptoms.

Osteopaths are primary care health professionals whose training is based on medical and clinical science. Visiting an osteopath in the UK gives you the same rights as that of doctors and dentists
