OSTEOPATHS

Osteopathy uses an established, recognised system of diagnosis and treatment that lays its main emphasis on the structural integrity of the body. The wellbeing of an individual depends on their bones, muscles, ligaments and connective tissue working in harmony.

This therapy can be used to treat a variety of ailments and conditions including arthritic pain, asthma, dizziness, carpal tunnel syndrome, menstrual pain, headaches, sciatica and many others.

It is distinctive in the fact that it recognises much of the pain and disability that we suffer from, stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by diseases.

As osteopaths, we use many of the diagnostic procedures involved in conventional medical assessment and diagnosis.

At Great Barr Osteopaths, we assess our patients from a mechanical, functional and postural standpoint. Our manual methods of treatment will be applied to suit the needs of each individual patient.

Our patients come from all walks of life - athletes, office workers and home makers, elderly people and babies.

Osteopaths are skilled at discovering underlying causes of pain. Trained to have a thorough understanding of anatomy and physiology, we use our hands to investigate and treat injuries to the ligaments, muscles and joints.

Poor posture can contribute to daily aches and pains whether you lift heavy loads, sit at the computer incorrectly or drive for long periods.

Great Barr Osteopaths can advise on correct posture and movement and can give instruction on back care and preventative exercises.

Back pain is very common; according to a survey published in 2000 almost half the adult population of the UK (49%) report low back pain lasting for at least 24 hours at some time in the year.
