CHRISTCHURCH OSTEOPATHY

Lower Back Pain

Welcome to Christchurch Osteopathy

The principal of Osteopathy 'structure governs function' could be summarised by something like: ‘Get the structure right and everything else will follow'.

Osteopathy’s other principles involve seeing the body as an integral unit (and the process of integration, as John Wernham points out) where each part affects and is affected by every other part; together with seeing each individual as a unity of body, mind and spirit.

Osteopathy is an officially recognised primary healthcare profession. Osteopathy focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions and the effects of those conditions on a person's general health. It is based on the principle that the body has the ability to heal and that the well-being of an individual depends on the different parts of the body functioning smoothly together.

Osteopaths use touch, physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase the mobility of joints and to relieve muscle tension. This also enhances blood and nerve supply to tissues and helps your body’s own healing mechanisms. Osteopaths provide advice on posture and exercise to aid recovery and to prevent symptoms recurring.

Some of the services offered by Osteopaths include;

Cranial Osteopathy, this is a skilled and subtle technique that encourages the release of stress and tension throughout the body, including the head.This can be good for pregnant women, babies and adults and can help with sinuses, head injuries and dizziness.

Pregnancy Osteopathy, during pregnancy many women find Osteopathy a relief from some of the tensions and strains put on their body. Osteopaths work to reduce muscle tension and encourage the spine to function well. 

Babies/Children and Osteopathy, many parents seek the services of an Osteopath for their babies who may be very irritable, unsettled, have colic, not sleeping and a range of other conditions. Osteopaths use gentle cranial osteopathy to help relieve strains on a babies body that may have been occurred through the birth process and gives the babies body an opportunity to heal. 

Aging, as people get older conditions such as arthritis and general muscle tension can become prohibitive to moving freely. Osteopaths work with patients to help loosen joints and muscle tension.
