Whitley Bay Osteopathic Centre
Osteopathy is a hands on practice both literally and figuratively. The latter meaning is applied here as Osteopaths consider their job is to examine and in time help the body along with the healing processes that naturally occur in the body. They do this by manually working certain parts of the body to allow this natural healing as osteopaths believe all body parts are interlinked and have knock on affects to other parts of the body.
Treatment Methods
If necessary after the initial assessment and examination the appropriate treatment program will be devised. Improvements in symptoms are usually seen by the patient within three sessions. However the honesty of the patient is crucial as the feed back to the treatment determines the route and pace of the treatment and therefore the process.
Working hands on both to investigate and treat the underlying cause of pain osteopaths assess and work with each patient individually.
