IS OSTEOPATHY JUST ABOUT LOW BACK PAIN?

Over the years osteopathy has perhaps become synonymous with the treatment of spinal pain - after all, low back pain is common and it affects daily life dramatically.

But in reality osteopathy also helps pain and dysfunction in other parts of the body (e.g. ankles, knees, elbows, ribs etc.), as well as helping the functioning of important areas such as the thorax, abdomen and pelvis.

It is important to realise that an osteopath is a 'generalist' and not a specialist. We don't specialise in treating one thing because that would be completely at odds with the way that an osteopath sees human beings and the way that their system functions as an integrated whole.
