This is a well-established form
of diagnosis and treatment, The patient is assessed from mechanical,
functional and postural standpoints,
then appropriate manual methods of treatment are applied. Osteopathy
is effective for many musculo-skeletal problems such as arthritis
and rheumatic related conditions, also sciatica, tennis elbow,
frozen shoulder, headaches, injuries caused by over-exertion
and
sports. Many causes of pain in the neck, shoulders, back and
restricted joint movement can be alleviated.
Osteopathy may also help conditions
such as M.E., asthma, irritable-bowel syndrome, glue ear and
tinnitus.

treated.

the subtle pulsation movements generated by the cerebro-spinal
fluid which bathes the brain and

birth, such as colic, feeding difficulties and disturbed sleep
patterns. Also mechanical disturbances and limitations of movement
may be corrected for the skull and body.
