What We Do

At Nailsea Osteopaths we use a variety of treatment methods according to the age and problem of each individual.

These methods range from the cranial approach to total body adjustment, used to help people of all shapes and sizes and with all type of presentations - not just back pain. We use structural, cranial, visceral and paediatric techniques to treat people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. We also offer acupuncture, sports massage, Alexander technique and nutrition advice.

Before starting any course of treatment, our osteopaths will run through a full health consultation to determine your general health and to decide which form of treatment is best for you.

What to Expect

Usually treatment is relaxing and rarely painful, though as the body adapts to the changes we make you may feel stiff and sore for a few days aferwards.

As a rough guide, 3-6 weekly treatments should be sufficient for a recent, uncomplicated injury. For ongoing problems, such as arthritis, 3-6 tratments should see a reduction in symptoms which could then be managed with regular maintenance.

Treatment may also include advice on posture, diet and exercise if these are contributing to your problem. What you do at home and at work can greatly affect your progress and so your involvement in any treatment plan is most important.

All our osteopaths have many years of experience in treating back and many other types of problem, so you can be reassured that you will be in good hands.
