Osteopathy can be used for a multitude of health problems from the trauma of birth, to arthritis in the elderly. Osteopathy is a safe and natural approach to healthcare with a recognised system of diagnosis and manual treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. Osteopathy can be used to treat many conditions; some of the most common are listed on the below:

•     Spinal problems
•     low back pain
•     neck
•     shoulder conditions
•     headaches/migraines
•     pregnancy
•     anti-natal pain
•     tendon
•     ligament
•     muscle strains
•     arthritic pain
•     joint stiffness
•     Sports injuries
•     Elbows
•     knees and wrists
•     Work related / overuse injuries
•     Postural problems

Much long-term, recurrent pain is caused by degenerated changes in the bodies framework. Nobody can reverse the process of aging, however osteopaths treatments may of then ease pain, reduce swelling, and improve range of joint motion. Pain control is an important part of treatment and osteopaths give guidance on simple self-help methods to use at home.
