What conditions can I see an osteopath for?
Osteopaths with their vast array of techniques and diagnostic skills can treat many different conditions and age groups. At Wantirna Osteopathy the practitioners are not only experienced in treating chronic and acute back, neck, shoulder and headache problems but also have great knowledge and experience in treating all forms of sporting injuries. Our practitioners can refer for Xrays, Ultrasound and MRI and have access to affordable braces and supports. Wantirna Osteopathy strives to be your first point of call, however, will always work in conjunction with your general practitioner or specialist.
What is Osteopathic Treatment?
The primary objective of osteopathic treatment is to correct faults in the body's mechanics to normalise the body's structure and function. The body has an inherent tendency to heal itself. Its inbuilt 'repair kit' performs best when the body is mechanically sound as it allows for the best circulation of blood and other fluids, the best delivery of nutrients and removal of waste products and the best nervous conductivity. This works to assist, accelerate and enhance the natural healing process.
