Osteopath treats common conditions

Conditions treated by osteopaths.

An osteopath treats many conditions that present with aches, pains, or stiffness in joints or tendons at any site on the body. Musculoskeletal pain and injury are commonly referred for treatment, especially for neck or back pain patients. However, other conditions may benefit from osteopathy.
Besides, most people believe osteopathy only treats back and neck pain. It is, in fact, a holistic therapy that can treat a wide range of complaints about most parts of the body.

Osteopath treats BACK OR NECK PAIN.

These are commonly treated conditions for which osteopaths may provide effective relief.

POSTURE RELATED PROBLEMS

Very few of us have good posture. So, this may be exacerbated by sitting at a desk for long periods. Unfortunately, a sedentary lifestyle is the most common cause of developing health problems. Those may include:

• scoliosis and sciatica,
• comfort eating and obesity,
• inflammatory of various body tissues,
• disruption of internal organs’ functions,
• low motility of the intestinal muscles and the gall bladder,
• malfunctioning of most eliminating organs like kidneys and liver,
• fluid retention or lymph retention,
• cardiovascular system problems and heart diseases.

However, there is a way to prevent all of them. Contact us to book a comprehensive consultation and treatment at our facility in Holborn, London.

Repetitive action can also lead to symptoms of pain, pins and needles, numbness or weakness in the arms and hands.
