The lumbar spine carries the burden of having to support the weight of the upper body, as well as provide mobility through all planes of movement. For this reason, it can be common source of pain. Osteopathic treatment of the lumbar spine aims to find the balance between mobility, and stability.

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a form of manual healthcare that recognises the important link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on how the joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a unit.

Using an assessment, diagnosis and a wide range of hands-on techniques, osteopaths can identify dysfunction in your body. Osteopathic treatments utilise techniques such as stretching and massage for general treatment of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) along with mobilisation of specific joints.

In Australia, osteopaths are government registered practitioners who complete a minimum of 5 years' univeristy training in anatomy, physiology, pathology, general medical diagnosis and osteopathic techniques.

Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners and are trained to recognise conditions that require medical referral. They are also trained to perform standard medical examinations of the musculoskeletal, cardiovasuclar, respiratory and nervous systems.

Osteopathy is covered by most private health funds and by Medicares chronic disease managment plans (CDMPs). Osteopaths are also registered providers for DVA patients

One of the most common complaints osteopaths see in a consultation is neck pain.

Neck pain can affect anyone of all ages, body types and careers. There are several factors that can predispose an individual to experience neck pain more frequently; some of these include previous whiplash injuries, prolonged computer use and arthritis of the cervical spine. Dysfunction of the musculoskeletal structures of the neck can also lead to headaches and dizziness.

At Resolve Osteopathy we have treated neck conditions from as young as 2 weeks old, up to 90 years old. Come in and see us to move and feel better.

The hip, knee and ankle-foot are the main weight-bearing structures of the body. Injuries can be caused by a sudden force (ie rupture of archilles tendon) or chronic over use injuries (ie patellar femoral pain syndrome).

Osteopathic treatment aims to reduce pain and normalise function by reducing muscle spasm/tension, and restoring joint mobility

Why do we assess?

As osteopaths it's important to be able to identify the most relevant anatomical structures leading to a patient's pain or presentation. An accurate examination can lead to an effective diagnosis, which can then determine the best course of treatment and management.

During an assessment your osteopath will test your mobility, stability, function and tone of the bodies biomechanics.

After an assessment, your osteopath will discuss your diagnosis with you and work with you to formulate an appropriate treatment plan.
