Osteopath, Chiropractor or Physiotherapist in Nuneaton

What is the difference between Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy and other manual treatments?

This very much depends upon the individual practitioner and the kind of practice that they run. There are many similarities and differences between these methods. Some specialise in certain techniques to affect the healing and recovery process and others use a multidisciplinary approach, but generally speaking they all have their place and if you are looking for a specific kind of treatment you should ask about this before you book an appointment.

Call to speak to me today or to book an appointment on 077-1024-4390. If we're busy, please leave your name, a short message and your contact phone number, and I'll get back to you as soon as I've finished treating my current patient.

Headaches, migraines – treatment at Nuneaton Osteopathic Clinic

Headaches and migraines can put a serious dent in your day (or week) if you regularly suffer from them. Many are caused by stress or tension in the neck and shoulder area or poor posture at work (bent over a computer for 6-8 hours a day doesn't help, or repeatedly lifting lifting any objects above shoulder height)

This repeated minor trauma to the neck and shoulder muscles can cause muscle fatigue, weakness and eventually muscle scarring and adhesions. These adhesions make muscles ineffective and they eventually become sore and tight. If this happens to the muscles in the neck and shoulder area, they can cause neck and shoulder stiffness, pain and eventually the muscles pull at the base of the skull which can lead to headaches and migraines.

Osteopathy can relieve the tension, stiffness and muscular soreness that often are the cause of this debilitating condition and prevent it from re-occuring with regular maintenance treatment.

Call today to make an appointment or find out how osteopathy at the Nuneaton Osteopathy Clinic can help your recurrent headache or migraine problem.

Come to our Open Day on the 28th February for free advice and a chat to our practitioners.

Skiing injury treatment at Nuneaton

Skiing injuries are common at this time of year, especially as those of us living in the northern hemisphere like to get away from the cold and currently wet weather to have some enjoyment in a similarly cold but drier (and often more sunnier) and enjoyable climate. Skiing holidays are popular, but bring with them the dangers of a sport that (for the beginner) includes the ability to travel at great speeds, but with relative lack of control and stability. The injuries that arise from this sport are usually collision injuries from sliding into an object (or other skiier) or from repetitively falling down. Common upper limb injuries are falls onto the shoulder, injuring the larger shoulder joint (gleno-humoral joint) or smaller (and more easily injured) A/C joint. both injuries can be painful and restrict you ability to perform every day activities (let alone do any work!)

Common lower limb injuries are often due to the torsion effect of falling either sideways or backwards with a couple of restrictive planks nailed to your feet! The joints most commonly affected are the knees and the ankles. This is despite the quick release mechanism between bindings and boots that often remains firmly attached.

Osteopathy can help with all of these injuries. We use interferential as well as ultrasound treaments for the local spasm and swelling, and massage to reduce the pain. Call today on 077-1024-4390 to book an appointment and stop your pain in its tracks – say goodbye to your painful skiing injuries.
