Frequently Asked Questions
WHY SHOULD I TRY OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy can be a great choice for those looking to address musculoskeletal issues and improve their overall health. Osteopaths use safe and gentle manual techniques to reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore balance to the body, while also providing education about diet, lifestyle changes, and exercise to help patients achieve long-term health goals.
HOW IS OSTEOPATHY DIFFERENT FROM CHIROPRACTIC CARE OR PHYSIO?
Osteopathy is different from physiotherapy and chiropractic care in that it focuses on the body as a whole, rather than just treating individual parts. Osteopaths use manual techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching, joint mobilization, and manipulation to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore balance to the body. They also provide education about diet, lifestyle changes, and exercise to help patients achieve long-term health goals. Physiotherapists focus on restoring physical function and mobility through exercises, manual therapy, and other modalities. Chiropractors specialize in manipulating joints and muscles to reduce pain and improve function.
IS OSTEOPATHY PAINFUL?
No, osteopathy is generally not painful. Osteopaths use gentle manual techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching, joint mobilization, and manipulation to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore balance to the body. In some cases there may be mild discomfort but it should never be unbearable.
HOW DOES OSTEOPATHY DIFFER FROM CHIROPRACTIC OR PHYSIOTHERAPY?
While there are overlaps, osteopathy, chiropractic, and physiotherapy are distinct disciplines. Osteopathy focuses on treating the body as a whole, considering the interplay between the musculoskeletal, nervous, and circulatory systems. Chiropractic care primarily focuses on spinal manipulation, while physiotherapy emphasizes rehabilitation and physical modalities. Each discipline has its unique approach and techniques.
IS OSTEOPATHIC TREATMENT SAFE?
Osteopathic treatment is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and licensed osteopath. Osteopaths undergo extensive training to understand the complexities of the human body and practice techniques safely. It is essential to disclose your medical history and any concerns to your osteopath to ensure safe and effective treatment.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING AN OSTEOPATHIC SESSION?
During an osteopathic session, the osteopath will conduct an initial assessment, which may involve asking questions about your medical history and performing physical examinations. They will then develop a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Treatment typically involves hands-on techniques, such as gentle manipulation, soft tissue stretching, and joint mobilization, to improve function and alleviate pain.
HOW LONG DOES AN OSTEOPATHIC SESSION LAST?
The duration of an osteopathic session can vary depending on your condition and the treatment plan. Initial consultations typically last longer, ranging from 45 minutes to an hour, as they involve a detailed assessment. Follow-up sessions are usually around 30 to 45 minutes. The exact duration will be discussed with you by your osteopath.
HOW MANY OSTEOPATHIC SESSIONS WILL I NEED?
The number of osteopathic sessions needed varies depending on factors such as the nature and severity of your condition, your overall health, and your response to treatment. Some individuals may find relief after a few sessions, while others may require ongoing care. Your osteopath will regularly assess your progress and discuss the estimated number of sessions required for optimal results.
CAN OSTEOPATHY BE USED ALONGSIDE OTHER MEDICAL TREATMENTS?
Yes, osteopathy can complement other medical treatments. Osteopaths often work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to ensure integrated and comprehensive care. They can provide support in managing pain, improving mobility, and promoting overall well-being while respecting the treatments prescribed by other healthcare providers.
