Osteopathy clinic in Barnet, North London
A holistic, drug-free system of diagnosis and treatment for everyone.
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions, based on the principle that health and function depend on the well-being of the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues of the musculoskeletal system.
Treatment focuses on addressing the root cause of the problem rather than just the symptoms, taking a holistic approach that considers how the issue affects the whole body and its systems.
Treatment is manual therapy without drugs, including soft tissue techniques, manipulation, stretching and joint articulation, along with posture advice and exercises to aid recovery and prevent recurrence.
A full medical history is taken along with your general health and current issue, so all aspects of your health can be considered.
A full assessment and postural analysis is carried out along with examination of the symptomatic area; you may be asked to dress down to your underwear.
After the examination, the diagnosis and suitable course of treatment is discussed with you, with referral to your GP or a specialist if needed.
Treatment can include massage techniques, joint and muscle mobilisations and manipulation.
Rehabilitation exercises are often prescribed to help reinforce treatment and the body's ability to heal itself.
Book an appointment today and let us help you move well, pain free.
