Zest
This is where I work in Sunniside with my massage therapist colleagues and our receptionist Claire. It’s a lovely calm space where we can really explore what’s happening in your body and see how to help you better.
You
You’re the focus of all my osteopathic attention. I look at your exercise, nutrition, rest, work, posture, activities, injuries and your ongoing health. We work together to help you move better and feel better.
X-Rays
They’re really useful for seeing bone fractures and the general health of the bone. They show any un-natural spinal curves such as a scoliosis. We can also see if the space inside a joint has narrowed or eroded which is a sign of osteo-arthritis. What X-Rays don’t show is the condition of softer tissues like ligaments, tendons and muscles. You need an MRI or ultrasound for that. Stick around for the letter U to find out more!
What?
What’s the difference between Osteopathy, Chiropractic and Physiotherapy? It’s the question I get asked more than any other. Press on ‘Blog’ above to find the answer. There’s lots of other stuff to read there too.
Vitamin D
Even a mild lack can cause general tiredness, vague aches and pains and a general sense of not being well. Take a look at my ‘Bring Me Sunshine’ blogpost to find out more. Just press on ‘Blog’ above.
UTI
Urinary Tract Infections can mimic low back pain. It’s one of the things I look for when doing my detective work as the Osteo Detective. Sherlock is my middle name!
