Now is the time to sort your aches and pains, Osteopathy is the way to help alleviate those symptoms.

Osteopathy is recognised as one of the main Complementary and Alternative Medicines (C.A.M.) and it focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of musculo-skeletal disorders.

Osteopaths treat a wide range of musculo-skeletal disorders such as back and neck pain, headaches, whiplash and sports and work related injuries. Other commonly treated conditions include pregnancy care, migraine, asthma and arthritic pain.

Osteopaths use many of the diagnostic procedures applied in conventional medical assessment and as such seek to restore the optimal functioning of the body and aid its ability to heal without the use of drugs or surgery.

Osteopathy offers a cost effective source of healthcare through:

• Prevention
• Early intervention
• Active recovery
• Enhancing quality of life

As such osteopaths already succeed in keeping an estimated 25,000 patients a day out of doctor’s surgeries and off hospital waiting lists¹.
