"It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what type of disease a person has"

Osteopathy is an healing art which involves the diagnosis and treatment of structural, muscular and mechanical dysfunctions of the body.

Whilst the spine is important in the maintenance and treatment of disease, osteopathy is now much wider than the mere examination and treatment of bones.

Genetic, developmental, dietary, environmental and psychological factors can all contribute to disease and infection.

Patients frequently discover that after treatment for their main complaint, they experience improvement in other conditions from which they may have been suffering, but did not associate with their 'bad back'. Headache, menstrual disorders, chronic respiratory conditions, constipation and digestive problems are examples of these.

Osteopathic medicine offers something more to health care, not something else.
