Got a question? - What happens at your visit? - We’re here to help.
Although the majority of our patients come to us with back, neck and other joint problems, We treat and can help relieve and/or eradicate other various acute and chronic disorders. We also help with nerve and muscle related problems.
During your first visit, which will be your initial consultation, the osteopath will ask about your pain and any medical history related.
Do try to expose the site of pain so bring with you shorts and/or loose fitting clothing. An assessment will take place observing the site of pain as well as other joints. Special orthopaedic tests may also be done to ensure a proper diagnosis is reached using our knowledge of anatomy, physiology.
Our aim is first to clarify you are safe to treat, then to reduce your pain and to limit reoccurring injuries. Treatment is given at consultation once safe to treat and you are happy for treatment to go ahead.
A full explanation will be given to you and a plan of treatments explained to you. Each patient is treated as an individual, therefore number of treatments varies according to the injury.
Osteopathic treatments can be uncomfortable especially if you are already in pain but it should not be unbearable. There is a possibility of a treatment reaction which just simply means you may feel slightly sore after the session but this tends to disappear within 24-48hrs. The majority of our patients have instant relief after treatment.
