Why choose me to be your Osteopath in the High Peak? Read some testimonials

Sometimes pain doesn't always go away and can make your life difficult. You may think that it's 'one of those things' or 'your age' and that 'maybe it will go away'. I see a lot of patients who seem to accept that their problem is now part of their life. It doesn't have to be, often aches and pains can be either resolved or at the very least made more manageable! The sooner you are treated the quicker the problem will be resolved.

In Buxton with Back Pain, Sports Injury, Arthritis.... Will Osteopathy Help?!

A lot of people don't know what an osteopath is, and if they do, they don't realise that we treat the whole body and not just backs! Osteopaths can help with back pain, sports injuries, general aches and pains and so much more! With that in mind, why would you choose osteopathy over seeing your GP, physiotherapist, chiropractor, masseuse..., the list is endless! The simple answer is, give it a go! I often find that people have favourite therapies to use. From my point of view, osteopaths look from head to toe and try to work out why the problem has occurred, and therefore trying to prevent it happening again. All osteopaths work differently, my approach is using soft tissue, ultrasound and manipulation, followed by a tailored stretch prescription.



Buxton Physiotherapy, Chiropractor Or Osteopath? What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a natural complementary therapy founded in the 18th Century by A.T. Still. Nowadays Osteopathy is an alternative therapy to Physiotherapy and Chiropractic treatment. Osteopaths will look at the whole body rather than the specific problem, in an attempt to balance the body and have a long term effect.

"Osteopathy is based on the perfection of nature's work. When all parts of the human body are in line we have health. When they are not the effect is disease. When the parts are readjusted disease gives place to health. The work of the Osteopath is to adjust the body from the abnormal to the normal; then the abnormal condition gives place to the normal and health is the result of the normal condition." A. T. Still

What conditions can Osteopathy help?

It doesn't just help back pain! Osteopathy can help many issues to do with the body. The most common conditions treated are:-

Aches and pains, including rheumatic pain and arthritic / hip and knee joint pain from Osteoarthritis (OA).
General backache / back pain, including lumbago, sciatica, general muscle spasm and neuralgia.
Frozen shoulder/ shoulder and elbow pain/ tennis elbow arising from associated musculoskeletal conditions of the back and neck.
Neck ache and neck pain not after trauma/injury, also headache if it arises from the neck, and migraine prevention.
Sports injuries.
Some injuries may be due to your posture and / or structural imbalances causing a stress or weakness in certain areas. By addressing these issues, along with the injury in question, the chances of injuries coming back may potentially be reduced.

General conditions are treated, such as inability to relax, circulatory problems, cramp, tension, digestion problems and fibromyalgia.

Postural issues can also be addressed.
For example some horseriders may notice that their horse veers to one side - this may because of the riders posture and muscle imbalances.

What happens during an appointment?

An appointment will involve me taking a case history to get to know your background and to give me an idea about what might the issue might be. I will then assess you, looking at your posture and for any potential causes of the issue.

During the treatment I may use massage, mobilisation and / or manipulation techniques. I often also use ultrasound. I tailor the treatment to the patient so feel free to tell me if you don't like something and I can adapt the treatment.

My aim is to get you better and feeling 'yourself' again as quickly as possible. I might also get you involved in the healing process by giving you lots of postural advice and stretches if I think that they will help. I will also look at what you do in your daily life so that I can determine what you are doing to aggravate issues. All of this hopefully cuts down on treatment time and therefore saves you money long term!

If you still have more questions please read my FAQ or contact me and I will be happy to answer any questions.
