Osteopathy may help the following:

• Low Back Pain
• Neck Pain

• Headaches
• Head & face pain caused by accident/injury/dental work/orthodontics
• Nerve pain, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, pins and needles
• Pregnancy related back, neck, rib, and muscular pain  
• Arthritis related pain
• Whiplash
• Sports injuries
• Chronic pain or dysfunction: using the subtle ‘Cranial Osteopathic’ approach we are particularly good at treating old, chronic complaints, especially those that have proved resistant to other forms of manual therapy.

Osteopaths also use their unique outlook to identify and treat the underlying cause of illnesses such as:

• Chest infections
• Asthma
• Sinusitis
• Recurrent infections of ears, chest, adenoids or sinuses
• Recurrent infections of the urinary tract and kidneys

Osteopathy and Pregnancy:

Pregnancy is a challenging time for any woman. Over a relatively short time period her weight gains dramatically, her breasts enlarge and her posture shifts to accommodate a growing baby bump. While this is a natural process, it is frequently is accompanied by pain and discomfort. Osteopathy may benefit the following pregnancy related symptoms:

• Rib Pain
• Neck Pain
• Low Back Pain
• Pelvic Pain and Instability
• Headaches
• Sciatica
• Breathlessness
• Heartburn

Osteopathic work to the pelvis may facilitate an easier delivery and many women report a faster post-partum recovery after treatment. By facilitating an easier birth Osteopathy reduces the likelihood of strains occurring in the head, neck and body of the child that is being born.
