An osteopath treats back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint pain, postural imbalances, sports injuries, repetitive strain injuries, sciatica, and musculoskeletal discomfort associated with pregnancy or aging.
Osteopathy takes a whole-body diagnostic approach using hands-on techniques including joint manipulation and soft tissue work. Physiotherapy often focuses on specific injury rehabilitation with exercises, electrotherapy, and targeted movement programs. Both can complement each other.
Osteopathic treatment is generally safe when performed by a qualified practitioner. Mild soreness after treatment is common and usually resolves within a day or two. Practitioners assess your medical history to ensure techniques are appropriate for your condition.
The number of sessions depends on the condition. Acute issues may improve within two to four sessions, while chronic conditions may require ongoing periodic treatment. Your osteopath will discuss a treatment plan after the initial assessment.
Online osteopathy consultations are useful for initial assessments, reviewing symptoms and posture via video, receiving exercise recommendations, and follow-up discussions. However, hands-on manual treatment requires an in-person visit.
