Age related

As we gracefully age, aches and pains can become a common thing. While the diagnosis of arthritis is common, the suffering of its related symptoms can be avoided.

In many cases recurrent pain is attributed to wear and tear of joints and when seen on X-ray, shows arthritis. In the majority of cases, it is not the joint itself causing the majority of the pain; it is the soft tissue and muscles tightening. The osteopath is experienced in identifying the relevant soft tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments) causing pain and treating them as well as both the joint itself and the surrounding joints.

Although nobody can reverse aging, osteopathic treatment helps ease pain and improve mobility by slowing down the natural wear and tear process and ease muscle stiffness and help the body maintain suppleness.
