What is an Osteopath?

In 1993, Parliament passed Osteopathy as a 'Medically recognised alternative therapy'. Osteopathy emphasises on the 'structural and functional integration of the body'. Osteopathy specialises in the Neuromuskuloskeletal systems, recognising and diagnosing abnormalities and pathological diseases. Through the use of manipulation of soft tissue and bone articulating techniques osteopaths are able to gently alter the state of the tissues retuning them to a healthy state.

How can an Osteopath be beneficial to a doctor and their patient?

We look for the cause and the reason why an injury was allowed to occur in the first place. By treating the cause as well as the after affect (Injury) we are able to give a long-term beneficial cure without the use of drugs. We also educate our patients in preventative methods such as stretching and how to exercise properly.

What is the difference between an Osteopath and a Chiropractor?

A Chiropractor deals mainly with the spine. Using high velocity thrusts to manipulate the vertebrae individually. Osteopaths treat the spine as well as all the extremities using stretch techniques, massage, and manipulation.
Osteopaths also have an excellent record with pre and post surgical conditions.
Osteopaths constantly refer patients to their doctors if we feel the underlying problem requires further investigation such as blood tests or x-rays.
