Osteopathy is best known for the treatment of a wide variety of musculo-skeletal problems, but it also has a role to play in the management of a number of other conditions.

The most common complaints for which patients consult Osteopaths include:

• Musculo-skeletal pain 
• Back and neck pain
• Sciatica
• Headaches
• Pains in peripheral joints such as shoulders, knees and ankles, tendonitis and muscle strains
• Work related and repetitive strain injuries
• Sports related injuries
• Arthritic conditions
• Tissue damage and injury
• Systemic symptoms
• Asthma
• Period pain
• Irritable and inflammatory bowel conditions
• Headaches
• Cluster headaches
• Migraines
• Sinusitis
• Children
• Colic
• Glue ear

Osteopathy can also play a significant role in pain management in arthritic conditions and when used in conjunction with other treatments, can be of value in reducing the severity of symptoms in conditions such as asthma, gynaecological dysfunction and chronic fatigue. Many mothers-to-be find Osteopathic treatment very beneficial both to reduce back pain during pregnancy and also to help prepare the body for birth. In addition there are a wide variety of gentle non-manipulative techniques for use on infants and small children. These can be used in the management of problems such as forceps trauma, infant colic and "glue ear."
