Welcome to Mid-West Osteopaths
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment that emphasises the structural integrity of the body. It is distinctive in that it recognises much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease.
Osteopathy uses many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medicine. However,its main strength lies in the unique way the patient is assessed from a mechanical,functional and postural standpoint. With appropriate referral to other professionals and the request of additional investigations like blood tests and x-rays allowing a full diagnosis and subsequently a specific treatment plan developed for the individual patient.
The treatment modalities include specific manipulations and mobilisations,soft tissue and muscle energy techniques,hydrotherapy,exercise and lifestyle prescription and nutritional advice and guidance. The manual methods are applied to suit the individual patient.
