Osteopathy For Adults
At Meadows Wellbeing
Osteopathy For Adults
Most adult patients visit the practice for one of the following reasons:
Sudden pain brought on by recent physical trauma, awkward movement or occasionally for ‘no apparent reason’.
Ongoing chronic pain caused or aggravated by repetitive movements or spending long hours (sometimes a few minutes) in one position such as sitting at a computer, driving or standing.
Ongoing chronic pain caused by accidents or operations in the past. Often these are thought of as unrelated to the presenting symptoms.
Simple movements such as walking or running which don’t feel right, although there is little or no pain.
Stress related musculo-skeletal pain and tension.
Conditions we treat at the practice:
Neck and back pain
Headaches
Trapped nerves
Peripheral joint and muscle pain – shoulder/elbow/hand/hip/knee/foot
Posture related problems
Sports injuries
Pain in pregnancy
Pain related to arthritic changes
If when assessed we feel that we are unable to help, referral to a GP or a different specialist will be advised.

What To Expect From Your Consultation & Treatments
On your first visit we will take a detailed medical history and listen to your concerns. Then a careful examination will be carried out followed by specific treatment for your injury or health problem.
You may find one treatment is enough to unlock certain injuries, however generally patients need between 2 – 6 sessions. Some patients feel they benefit from regular treatment once a month or every six months, it is up to the individual.
The initial appointment lasts for around 1 hour which includes taking your medical history, an examination and then treatment. Follow up appointments are for 30 minutes.

Osteopathy for Adults
As adults we may have had physical injuries, accidents, operations, demanding work environments or a combination of any of these, resulting at the time or eventually as pain, in one or more parts of our body. The natural aging process may also be at work as a contributory factor.
Adults benefit enormously from osteopathic intervention from identifying the cause, diagnosis, treatment to advice and management.

Osteopathy for Babies & Children
It is a common belief that babies and children have no stresses and strains in their bodies. The reality is very different. During birth the body is subjected to enormous forces and some babies cope very well but for others it’s a different story with resultant tensions and stresses remaining in the body.
This can lead to discomfort and related symptoms such as excessive crying, irritability, poor sleeping, poor feeding.
