What to expect when consulting an Osteopath?
On your first visit, a full medical case history will be taken. An examination will then be carried out (you may then be asked to remove some clothing) and you will be asked to perform some simple movements for assessment purposes. Additionally, areas of your body will then be palpated to assess for tension.
Diagnosis & treatment will then be discussed. There may be appropriate referral to other professionals & the request for additional investigations such as blood tests & x-rays, allowing a full diagnosis & treatment plan.
Treatment will typically consist of soft tissue, gentle mobilisation and manipulation techniques to relax inflamed, irritated tissues. This enables fresh blood to reach a damaged area so facilitating healing. Also by working with stiff, restricted areas of the spine or a limb overall function and comfort will improve.
