Osteopathy

Osteopathy is a highly regulated, established manual therapy, that focuses primarily on the musculoskeletal system. Osteopaths are considered Allied Healthcare Professionals (NHS England) utilising a mixture of different techniques including Osteopathic adjustments (a joint release / manipulation) in order to influence the structure and function of the joints, muscles, ligaments and neurology. Osteopaths can help patients of all ages suffering with pain, including conditions such as arthritis, migraines, sciatica and sporting injuries.

Medical Acupuncture

Western Medical Acupuncture at Williams Osteopathy can be incorporated within your Osteopathic treatment, it involves using very fine needles to stimulate sensory nerves in order to moderate pain pathways, it also acts to promote an immune response, speeding up the repair process. According to The National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) acupuncture is recommended for chronic headaches and migraines and is effective treatment for other conditions such as chronic neck pain, joint pain, dental pain and postoperative pain.

Kinesiology Taping

Kinesiology taping (KT) is a specific taping method applied to support joints, but still allow the surrounding muscles to function, decreasing muscle fatigue. KT acts to microscopically lift the skin to encourage a reduction in oedema and inflammation, via the lymphatic system, therefore reducing pain. KT can assist in re-education of the muscles and joints through increased proprioceptive input, allowing an improvement in range of motion and therefore helping you to return to the activities you love sooner.

    Friendly and professional support and advise Jo has really helped with my back pain- I had a couple of occasions where I had to take time off of work but since seeing Jo this has not happened. Now I am pregnant she is still seeing me and offering great advise not just for my usual back pain but new pregnancy related pain issues as well. During these strange months of lockdowns and reduced NHS services she has helped me more than any other health professional. I highly recommend a trip to Williams Osteopathy.
