Osteopathy - David Carter (BOst)

Osteopaths are primary healthcare practitioners who have completed a four-year degree course, and must be registered with the General Osteopathic Council. Osteopaths do not claim to cure patients and do not treat conditions, but through a process of treatment address the underlying causes that present in many of the common problems we all experience.

What do osteopaths treat?

Back pain
Neck pain
Headaches, migraines
Peripheral joint pain e.g. hips, knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows and wrists. These may be conditions such as tennis elbow, frozen shoulder or work/leisure related repetitive strain injuries, or arthritic and rheumatic pain
Pain related to sports activities and injuries
Pains experienced during the changes of pregnancy and post partum issues

Less commonly some osteopaths work in visceral and cranial ways this means we can address many other conditions of a respiratory, digestive or other systemic nature.

What do osteopaths do?

A consultation involves a thorough case history, a subsequent physical examination involving the patient dressing down to their underwear, an explanation of findings and treatment options, followed by treatment if suitable. Osteopaths use many treatment techniques of articulating joints, sometimes joint manipulation, relieving tension in muscles, ligaments and tendons and many other methods.

Fees

Initial consultation approx. 45 mins - £45
Subsequent consultations approx. 30 mins - £30
