Most people visit an Osteopath when they are experiencing neck, back or joint pain, or have sustained a sporting injury.
As a broad concept, the body has an amazing ability to self-heal, and most aches and pains will over time go away if the body (or that specific part of the body) is functioning properly.
Based on this concept, the Osteopathic approach to treating aches and pains is to use a combination of hands-on techniques, exercises and lifestyle advice to restore normal function to the joints, nerves, muscles and other soft tissues.
Chiropractors are trained to identify and treat mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system- particularly in relation to the spine and pelvis. For this reason, many people who visit a Chiropractor do so for neck, back or joint pain.
The goal of Chiropractic treatment is to correct muscle imbalances, reduce joint stiffness, and improve joint range of motion. To achieve this Chiropractors does not use drugs or surgery but uses gentle ‘adjustments’ that improve the mobility of your spinal joints and the position of your vertebrae.
