Osteopathy London

Our excellent experienced Osteopaths are available in Central London, Surrey and Twickenham. Specialising in the treatment of back pain, neck pain and much more.

Osteopathy is a way of detecting, treating and preventing health problems by the use of gentle mobilisations, manipulations, massage and stretching of your muscles and joints. Osteopathy is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on the healthy function of their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue and that the body has the innate ability to heal itself.

Osteopathy treats a wide range of problems related to muscles, joints, ligaments and other soft tissue. Osteopathy is a gentle and effective way to treat many conditions. Treatments help you manage the pain quickly and painlessly, without the use of injections, long-term medication or surgery. Most people who see an osteopath do so for help with back pain, neck pain and joint pain.

What does osteopathy treat?

Back Pain

Back pain can come on gradually over time due to repetitive incorrect involuntary movement patterns. These improper patterns can cause structural misalignment and lead to pain and discomfort. My team of professional osteopaths and healthcare providers are specifically trained not only to structurally realign the associated areas under strain but to also identify and make you voluntarily/consciously aware of these incorrect movement patterns that could be triggering your condition. We are then able to apply corrective change and advise accordingly until correct movement patterns become second nature.

 

It is these key changes and observations by our experienced professionals that separate us from everyone else and allow us to give you long term pain relief. Back pain can also come on suddenly following a trip or a fall.

It is imperative you seek immediate professional help if this occurs. Although not always serious however, we are a phone call away and are able to give you peace of mind and guide you appropriately and give you information on the best form of treatment necessary.  

Neck Pain

Similar to back pain, there are a number of causes of neck pain, which include whiplash, muscle spasms, nerve compression from disc bulges or prolapses, as well as injury to the small joints of the spine.

Neck pain can often be accompanied with shoulder pain or headaches and in many cases this can be caused by postural strain from sitting down and looking at a computer screen. Osteopathy is very effective in the treatment and assessment of most neck pain.

Joint Pain 

There are many forms of joint pain. Some familiar conditions associated with joint pain could be frozen shoulder, tennis elbow, arthritis, whiplash and repetitive strain. There are many other causes that can be associated with joint pain and a thorough assessment is required to recognise the main cause. Osteopathy is very effective in the diagnosis and treatment of joint pain.

Sports and Exercise related  Injuries

 

Whether high level competitive sports or general health related exercise injuries can occur. We are highly trained and well equipped to deal with all sports/exercise related injures from minor muscular tears, strains, ligamentous sprains and nerve entrapments to post-surgical rehabilitation. A thorough case history and examination following appropriate tests are performed in order to establish the correct diagnosis and treatment enabling a speedy recovery. Various treatment modalities are used and available ranging from manual hands on techniques such as mobilisations, massage, manipulations and the use of needles (medical acupuncture) as well as medical equipment such as G5, shockwave, acugraph, ultrasound and tens machines. Your healthcare provider will devise the best treatment protocol according to your condition.

 

Headaches

 

Headaches can be constant and very disabling in nature. There are many different types of headaches for example, tension headaches, migraines, cervicogenic, as well as jaw related headaches. Although many headaches can be treated using osteopathic techniques headaches can be very serious therefore, it is imperative to be able to reach the correct diagnosis and be able to perform a thorough examination to rule out any red flag signs and symptoms before any form or treatment plan begins. Our highly skilled and competent practitioners are well equipped and have years of experience and knowledge to perform such tasks. Rest assure you will be safe in our hands.
