Sports injury?

Osteopathy works great at helping you get back to peak fitness after a sports injury. Even though sportspeople recover more quickly due to their general fitness levels, it is best to seek advice early to avoid any chronic effects.

Often, easy osteopathic treatments are all that is necessary to restore normal function by correcting joint, muscle or postural imbalance.

Sciatica is often used to describe almost any pain in the leg. It happens due to the irritation of the sciatic nerve, a bundle of nerves connected to the lower spine. There are many risk factors such as age, posture, diabetes, or obesity, but osteopathic treatment is often very effective for most common causes of sciatica.

A range of gentle and calming techniques is used to reduce pressure of the nerve and relax tight joints and muscles. If the pain is persistent, a mixture of osteopathy, to help the spinal mechanics and acupuncture, to reduce the nerve pain works very well.

Book an appointment with our osteopath as to how this should be implemented or contact us if you need any further details.

Neck pains can be a deal breaker if they affect your quality of life.

One way you can help your neck is by changing your sleeping position. One more tip which could have a significant impact in reducing neck pain would be changing your pillows.

If you sleep on your back, choose a rounded pillow to support the natural curve of your neck, with a flatter pillow cushioning your head. You can use a feather pillow or a memory foam pillow which easily conforms to the shape of your neck.

For chronic neck pain issues, you can always book an appointment with us and our experts will advise a course of treatment that works for your needs.
