About Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a drug free system of healthcare and pain management, offering individually tailored treatment and advice. Osteopaths see the whole person rather than just another patient with a disorder and are trained to advise on exercise, lifestyle, basic nutrition and coping strategies. You will be advised and consulted on every stage of your treatment plan, helping you gain control of your pain. Osteopaths can refer patients where necessary for MRI scans, ultrasound, blood tests, X-ray etc via your GP. Over 30,000 patients consult osteopaths every working day and over 7 million consultations are carried out every year (General Osteopathic Council).
