Osteopathy: An Effective System
Osteopathy is a powerful and effective system of assessing, diagnosing, treating, and preventing a wide range of health problems involving joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves. Osteopaths recognise the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and its function. They focus on the body's skeleton and bone structure, as well as the underlying muscles, soft tissue, and internal organs. Osteopaths treat the whole body, addressing issues such as:
- Back pain
- Neck pain and whiplash
- Sciatica
- Neuralgia (nerve pain)
- Headaches
- Muscle spasms
- Shoulder problems, including frozen shoulder
- Arthritic conditions
- Foot and ankle problems
- Hip and knee pain
- Elbow and wrist pain
Western Medical Acupuncture
Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic modality involving the insertion of fine needles. It is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and pathology, with the principles of evidence-based medicine. This technique is used to treat a variety of conditions, such as musculoskeletal pain, headaches, and osteoarthritis, by stimulating the nerves in skin and muscle.
