2. What is the difference between Osteopaths and Chiropractors? There are many similarities between chiropractic and osteopathy treatments. Both are mainly 'hands-on' treatments and both professions are regulated by law. Some people are helped by chiropractic treatment, whilst others benefit from osteopathy care.
Chiropractic treatment
Chiropractors specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that are due to problems with bones, joints, muscles and nerves, particularly those of the spine. Chiropractors work on the spine and use their hands to make gentle, specific adjustments to improve joint function and help relieve pain.
Chiropractors can also support the treatment they offer with advice about your lifestyle and exercise in order to help manage your condition and lessen recurrence. They may use diagnostic tools like X-Rays or MRI scans to identify where your body need attention.
Osteopathy treatment
Osteopathy takes a broad approach to your body's aches and strains. It treats problems with muscles, ligaments, joints and nerves using a technique called 'mobilisation'. By stretching and massaging your body, an osteopath can encourage movement and make you more comfortable. They too can offer dietary and aftercare advice.
Whether you need chiropractic or osteopathy treatment, we want you to be able to manage the cost of looking after yourself, so you can continue living your full and active life.

3. How many treatments would i typically need? It does depend on the problem, however our patients often comment on how surprisingly quickly they are helped, we always try to keep treatment to a minimum and give clear guidance on how a patient can help themselves. We would not ever have a patient coming back for treatment unnecessarily and with no signs of improvement.
