Nutley Lane Osteopaths

Osteopaths are trained to have an in depth knowledge of our bodies' structure and function. By structure we mean our anatomy, our bones, blood vessels, nerves and so on. By function we mean physiology, how our anatomy works to keep our bodies fit and healthy. Using manual hands on techniques, osteopaths work to restore the imbalances found within the body. Effective osteopathic treatment aims to restore a state of health, reducing pain. Osteopaths are probably best known for their treatment of back and neck pain.

However, patients often report that they feel improvement in many areas of their health following osteopathic treatment. The Advertising Standards Agency only allows us to mention conditions that large scale clinical trials have proven. The osteopathic profession is relatively small, only a few thousand practitioners in the UK, as opposed to several hundred thousand GPs.
