What Conditions Does An Osteopath Treat?
People commonly visit osteopaths for MSK conditions, such as the back, neck, joint, muscle and arthritic discomfort. Osteopaths have a well-deserved, evidence-based reputation for expertise in the treatment of these conditions. People also visit osteopaths for a variety of other health reasons including neuromuscular conditions such as sciatica, digestive issues, headaches and migraine prevention.

Here is a list of a wide variety of conditions that patients are looking for treatment for but it is not limited:
- Neck & Back Pain
- Sport injuries
- Headaches & Migraines
- Whiplash
- Sciatica
- Muscular and Neural Pain
- Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
- Shoulder Pain
- Hip Pain
- Ligament Injuries
- Knee and Ankle Injuries
- Arthritic pain
What's The Difference Between A Chiropractor And An Osteopath?
Osteopaths are highly trained, healthcare professionals who are experts in the musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, joints and associated tissues) and its relationship with other systems in the body to optimise health. Osteopaths use a wide range of gentle hands-on techniques that focus on releasing tension, improving mobility and optimising function.

This is often used together with exercise and advice, designed to help patients relieve or manage pain, keep active and maintain the best of health. Osteopathic care is suitable for people of all ages from babies to the elderly.

Likewise, some chiropractors use soft tissue massage and other rehabilitative methods while adjusting the joints. The primary difference between chiropractic care and osteopathy is that, while chiropractors are primarily focused on the joints and spine, osteopaths are more concerned with the whole body and take on a more holistic approach.

Chiropractors believe a lot of problems can be solved by slight adjustments done to the skeletal system, but osteopaths believe that the whole body should be considered as a unit when treatments are done and give great attention to the skeletal system, as well.
When Should I See An Osteopath?
Osteopaths believe everyone can benefit from a tailored, whole-person approach to health. We are Allied Healthcare Professionals who take time to understand your individual history, circumstances and unique physiology, to support you to be as healthy as you can be.

You don’t have to wait to see an osteopath when you start having aches and pains. Many people find it helpful to talk to an osteopath about ways of keeping active, preventing common problems or injuries or looking for a tailored exercise program.

However, if you experience an injury or have pain related to musculoskeletal (muscles, bones, joints and associated tissues), neurological (nerve pain, headaches) and many other conditions, including arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, generalised aches and pains relating to pregnancy and postpartum, please come to see us.

Osteopathy is a system of seeing, diagnosing, treating and preventing a wide range of health problems.
What Clothing Should Wear To My Appointment?
As with any healthcare appointment, it may be necessary for your osteopath to ask to remove some clothing. This is so they can see and touch the areas of the body causing concern.

Therefore, to make you feel at ease, osteopaths suggest wearing clothing, such as shorts and a t-shirt, or close-fitting garments, that will enable them to work effectively.

You are also welcome to ask a friend or relative to accompany you and be present throughout your appointment.

I saw Zaneta to help with back and neck pain brought on by pregnancy and breastfeeding. I was impressed with her attention to detail when doing the consultation and felt she really focused on the problems I'd described when treating me. She was very clear in communicating what she was doing and why she was using certain techniques which i found helpful and she took the time at the end to discuss how I could protect my back in the future. I was experiencing quite a bit of pain and immobility before seeing her and after two treatments am back to normal! Highly recommend her.

Zaneta has been working with me for over 2 years now on my ankle replacement recovery. She is extremely knowledgeable and has been a key part of making such a strong recovery. She has worked on the scar tissue on my ankle, with techniques such as the Graston technique.

I had a limp when I first met her, was very weak and lacked confidence! 2 years later I’m able do things such as ski and I had gained knowledge that I’m able to practice on independently.

Zaneta is an amazing Osteopath and sports rehabilitator. She has helped me to provide effective solutions for my ankle injuries. She is extremely knowledgeable in her field and can expertly use different treatments such as rehabilitation and manual therapy. She provides personal home programmes to follow which greatly helped me too.
