Osteopath - Huddersfield Halifax West Yorkshire Registered Osteopaths, specialist osteopathic treatment of low back and neck pain
Osteopathy is a way of detecting and treating injuries and problems to skeletal parts of the body such as joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves
Osteopaths are fully trained in diagnosis and use many of the diagnostic procedures used in conventional medicine. The osteopath's first concern is to find out what is wrong with the body's structure and how it is affecting its function and also to check for signs of any serious conditions, for which you may need a referral to your GP or hospital. Since the passing of the Osteopathy Act in 1993, the Osteopathic profession has become recognised as part of primary health care, enjoying a close working relationship with the medical profession.
The key aim of osteopathic treatment is to help relieve your pain and to get you going as quickly as possible. It can also ease the physical wear and tear associated with ageing, and can improve mobility and reduce inflammation, all of which enhance overall quality of life and independence. Although osteopathy is known for mainly treating back problems it is also an effective treatment for the whole body, including musculo-skeletal problems, sports injuries and headaches. You can also benefit from advice to help you cope with the physical stresses of everyday life at work, at home and at play.
