Are you suffering from chronic back pain? Plagued by neck pain and stiffness? Is that shoulder pain stopping you from working out? Typically, you’d instantly book an appointment to a spa for a quick massage. Some people resort to obtaining chiropractic services. And of course, there are individuals who take pain medications for instant relief. The truth of the matter is, all these “remedies” and “treatments” don’t work at all!

Find the answers to all these aches and pains at our Melbourne Osteopathic clinic. What is osteopathy, you ask? Read on to find out more!

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is recognised as “manual  medicine” in that practitioners focus their efforts on the efficient management, treatment and resolve issues of neuro-musculoskeletal and musculoskeletal problems that may that chiropractors and physiotherapists cannot. There seems to be a surplus in physiotherapists and chiropractors who practice manual medicine in Melbourne and at the same time an obvious shortage of osteopaths in the city.

With the wide and comprehensive scope of osteopathy, we can say that we can resolve issues that chiropractors and physiotherapists fail to provide. We promise relief and comfort unlike any other.

  • Osteopathy centres on the biological and psychosocial causes of injury. Most conditions such as arthritis, chronic muscle pain, and mechanical injuries are better treated with osteopathy therapies. Osteopaths are more grounded in medicine in that they find the actual cause of the problem and find treatment interventions that will provide permanent relief.

What are the common conditions treated in Melbourne osteopathy centres:

  • Neck pain
  • Spinal problems caused by sedentary living
  • General aches and pains
  • Osteopathy also offer specialised treatments for women in different stages of life such as pregnancy
  • Sports-related injuries

If you are looking to get more permanent relief for musculoskeletal problems, recurring pains, and sports-related injuries, osteopathy may deliver more scientifically proven management interventions that are more effective than those presented by physiotherapists and chiropractors.
