Osteopathy – A new approach for injury

Osteopathy: The Next Step for Lingering Pain

When you’re battling a painful injury that just won’t seem to budge, the frustration can be overwhelming. There are a huge range of treatments available for pain. You might have tried chiropractic adjustments, and you’ve diligently attended physiotherapy sessions, yet the pain persists. Before resigning yourself to the idea that you may have to live with this indefinitely, consider another avenue: osteopathy.

As Osteopaths we often only see patients after a failed course of treatment with Physiotherapy or Chiropractic.

Osteopathy stands out as a form of healthcare that focuses on the interconnectedness of the body systems. Unlike chiropractic, which primarily deals with spinal adjustments, or physiotherapy, which often concentrates on rehabilitation exercises, osteopathy takes a comprehensive approach, considering the entire body’s biomechanics and functionality, and also incorporates both spinal adjustments and rehabilitative exercises.

One of the significant advantages of osteopathy is its emphasis on identifying the root cause of the problem rather than merely addressing symptoms. Osteopaths are trained to assess how various parts of the body work together and how dysfunction in one area can manifest as pain or discomfort elsewhere. This holistic approach can uncover underlying issues that may have been overlooked in previous treatments.

Moreover, osteopathic hands on techniques techniques feel good and help with pain, making them suitable for individuals who may not tolerate the forceful manipulations commonly associated with chiropractic adjustments. Osteopaths are highly trained in patient assessment, communication and injury prognosis and management. This allows them to select the best course of therapy for your circumstances.

Another distinguishing factor of osteopathy is its focus on preventive care. Osteopaths work with patients to develop personalized treatment plans aimed at not only alleviating current pain but also preventing future injuries. By addressing biomechanical imbalances and dysfunctional movement patterns, osteopathy helps patients achieve long-term relief and maintain optimal health and well-being.

We will NEVER tell you you have to keep coming back. We always prioritise recovery and self managment, even for degenerative conditions.

In conclusion, if you’re struggling with persistent pain that has not resolved with chiropractic or physiotherapy, exploring osteopathy could be a game-changer. Its approach, focusing on root causes, gentle techniques, and emphasis on preventive care make it a valuable option for anyone seeking relief from pain and injuries.

Don’t let lingering pain hold you back – consider giving osteopathy a try. We can help you towards lasting healing and wellness.
