Osteopathy is most commonly associated with musculoskeletal medicine, particularly the treatment of back and neck pain as well as sports and work-related injuries, but not everyone seeing an osteopath is in pain. Osteopathy is a holistic form of healthcare that helps people improve or restore health and well-being. Patients come to an osteopath for rehabilitation and injury management, assistance with general health problems or medical conditions, and general wellness. Osteopaths work with all body types and people of any age from infants and children through to the elderly. Osteopathic treatment can be helpful for people in any situation such as students, office workers, manual labourers, pregnant people, stay-at-home parents, retirees and anyone in between.

Osteopathic treatment is sought after for problems such as acute (new) muscle strains or spinal disc injuries, as well as chronic (long-term) conditions such as repetitive ligament sprains or persisting pain in any area of the body. Osteopaths work with patients who have common problems like such as a runner’s knee or tennis elbow, as well as complex problems such as nerve-related muscle weakness or tissue numbness, scoliosis or arthritis.

    We all get neck or back pain from time to time, which means these areas are the most common issues an osteopath treats.

    The neck or back pain may be a mild annoyance and short lived pain like a muscle strain from sleeping funny, or the pain may be closer to agony and more complicated like a herniated disc.

    It doesn’t matter if the pain has been building over time and linked to things such as heavy or repetitive manual work or prolonged sitting at a desk. It doesn’t matter if it’s from an accident, such as an impact in sports or a slip on the steps. OsteoFix is here to help.

    Neck and back pain can happen for many reasons and one part of our job is to work out why it is happening to you. Part of getting you better is addressing all of the injured parts, as well as the contributing areas of the body that may have had a role in predisposing you towards this injury and anything that might prevent you from fully recovering.

    Getting the painful area better is just a part of the job. That’s why we work around the site of pain and sometimes quite distant from it. It’s with the aim of helping you stay functional and pain free so you don’t need keep coming back.
