When Should I See An Osteopath?

You should consider visiting an Osteopath

• following any kind of lifting strain
• after a fall or any kind of physical trauma
• after spraining or injuring any joint
• following a motor vehicle accident even if your pain is only temporary
• when you injure yourself playing sport
• after any injury at work whether traumatic or repetitive
• when you wake in the morning with back pain or stiffness
• when your neck and shoulders feel tense by the end of the day
• when your headaches keep recurring or just won't go away
• when your aches and pains have failed to respond to any other kind
  of treatment

You should consider bringing your child to see an Osteopath

• When they keep complaining that they are in pain.  Children rarely keep complaining of pain without good reason
• after a fall or any kind of physical trauma
• when they injure themselves playing sport
• following a motor vehicle accident even if they are not complaining of any pain
• when your Doctor has told you they have "Growing Pains".  There are no such things as growing pains only unexplained pain in a growing child
• for periodic checkups when they are participating in traumatic pastimes such as skateboarding, BMX, football etc
