  2. Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
  3. New blood vessel formation
  4. Reversal of chronic inflammation
  5. Stimulation of collagen production
  6. Non-invasive treatment
  7. Relatively cheap
  8. Improves blood circulation

Mechanical pain

Most back pain is "non-specific" (no obvious cause) or "mechanical" (pain originates from the joints, bones or soft tissues in and around the spine).

This type of back pain can:

  1. Have a positional component – i.e. worse for certain movements
  2. Develop either suddenly or gradually
  3. Occur for no apparent reason
  4. Be the cumulative effect of poor posture or lifting something awkwardly
  5. Be caused by an underlying Strain (muscle) or Sprain (ligament)
  6. Be linked with feeling stressed / run down
  7. Improve within a few weeks, but may lead to other postural compensations

Benefits of Mechanical pain treatment

  1. Improved Sleep
  2. Reduces inflammation
  3. Prevent and manage injuries
  4. New blood vessel formation
  5. Non-invasive treatment
  6. Reduces pain and increases functionality
  7. Very affordable

Muscle spasm

Spasms can affect many different types of muscles in the body, leading to many different symptoms. Spasms of skeletal muscles are most common and are often due to overuse and muscle fatigue, dehydration, and electrolyte abnormalities.

Common symptoms include:

  1. The spasms happen when the muscle suddenly moves involuntarily
  2. Muscle spasms may feel like a slight twitch or a painful cramp
  3. The spasm occurs abruptly, is painful, and is usually short-lived
  4. It may be relieved by gently stretching or massaging the affected area or using a heat or ice pack may help
  5. Muscle spasms can last just a few seconds or up to several minutes, but they tend to go away on their own without any treatment
  6. Sometimes, muscle spasms can be a sign of an underlying health condition. Anyone who suffers from frequent or severe muscle spasms should speak to a doctor

Benefits of Muscle spasm treatment

  1. Release of trigger points
  2. Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
  3. New blood vessel formation
  4. Reversal of chronic inflammation
  5. Stimulation of collagen production
  6. Non-invasive treatment
  7. Relatively cheap
  8. Improves blood circulation

Joint pain

Is a very common problem with many possible causes, but it's usually a result of injury or arthritis. It can be caused by injury affecting any of the ligaments, bursae, or tendons surrounding the joint. Injury can also affect the ligaments, cartilage, and bones within the joint.

Symptoms and signs associated with joint pain can include

  1. Joint redness, swelling, tenderness, warmth
  2. Limping
  3. Locking of the joint
  4. Loss of range of motion of the joint
  5. Stiffness
  6. Weakness

Benefits of Joint pain treatment

  1. Improved Sleep
  2. Reduces inflammation
  3. Prevent and manage injuries
  4. New blood vessel formation
  5. Non-invasive treatment
  6. Reduces pain and increases functionality
  7. Very affordable

Circulatory problem

A wide range of symptoms can indicate poor circulation. These symptoms can   affect a person’s quality of life and may even cause severe complications.

Common symptoms include:

  1. Cold, numbness and tingling in the hands and feet
  2. Swelling in the feet, ankles, and legs
  3. Memory loss and difficulty concentrating
  4. Digestive issues / fatigue
  5. Joint and muscle cramping
  6. Skin colour changes
  7. Ulcers in the legs or feet
  8. Varicose veins

Benefits of Circulatory problem treatment

  1. Release of trigger points
  2. Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
  3. New blood vessel formation
  4. Reversal of chronic inflammation
  5. Stimulation of collagen production
  6. Non-invasive treatment
  7. Relatively cheap
  8. Improves blood circulation

Arthritic and Rheumatic pain

Arthritis literally means “joint inflammation,” but it is used as a collective term for a complex family of musculoskeletal (muscle and skeleton) disorders that include over 100 different diseases or conditions.

Benefits of Arthritic and Rheumatic pain treatment

  1. Osteoarthritis is one of the most common forms of arthritis. It is caused by wear and tear on the joints. Overuse of a particular joint is called primary osteoarthritis. In other cases, it might be due to a medical condition like obesity and is referred to as secondary osteoarthritis. However, sometimes, the cause of osteoarthritis is not clear.
  2. Rheumatoid arthritis is another common form of arthritis. It is an autoimmune disease, meaning that the body mistakes its own tissues as foreign and attacks them. The immune system attacks joints and other parts of the body

Benefits of Arthritic and Rheumatic pain treatment

  1. Improved Sleep
  2. Reduces inflammation
  3. Prevent and manage injuries
  4. New blood vessel formation
  5. Non-invasive treatment
  6. Reduces pain and increases functionality
  7. Very affordable

Fibromyalgia

Also called fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), is a long-term condition that causes widespread pain all over the body. The most effective treatment is a combination of education, stress reduction, exercise, gentle manual therapy and medication.

People with fibromyalgia may also have:

  1. Increased sensitivity to pain
  2. Extreme tiredness (fatigue)
  3. Muscle stiffness
  4. Difficulty sleeping
  5. Problems with mental processes (known as "fibro-fog"), such as problems with memory and concentration
  6. Headaches
  7. Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), a digestive condition that causes stomach pain and bloating

Benefits of Fibromyalgia treatment

  1. Release of trigger points
  2. Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
  3. New blood vessel formation
  4. Reversal of chronic inflammation
  5. Stimulation of collagen production
  6. Non-invasive treatment
  7. Relatively cheap
  8. Improves blood circulation

Minor sports injury

Different sports injuries produce different symptoms and complications.

The most common types of sports injuries include;

  1. Sprains: Over-stretching or tearing the ligaments results in a sprain.
  2. Strains: Over-stretching or tearing muscles or tendons results in a sprain.
  3. Knee injuries: Any injury that interferes with how the knee joint moves could be a sports injury.
  4. Swollen muscles: Swelling is a natural reaction to an injury. Swollen muscles may also be painful and weak
  5. Achilles tendon rupture: The thin powerful tendon at the back of your ankle can break or rupture.
  6. Fractures: Bone fractures are also known as broken bones
  7. Dislocations: When that happens, a bone is forced out of its socket.
  8. Rotator cuff injury: Four pieces of muscle work together to form the rotator cuff.

Benefits of Minor sports injury treatment

  1. Improved Sleep
  2. Reduces inflammation
  3. Prevent and manage injuries
  4. New blood vessel formation
  5. Non-invasive treatment
  6. Reduces pain and increases functionality
  7. Very affordable

Headaches

Osteopaths can give treatment to help relieve the build-up of muscular tension that may lead to headaches and offer guidance on exercise and postural changes

There are many causes of headaches. Most are not serious and once the cause is established headaches can often be helped by simple changes in lifestyle.

Generally, they can be split into two types:

  1. Primary headaches: which include tension headaches, cluster headaches, and migraine which are all fairly common
  2. Secondary headaches: typically caused by a disease or medical condition. These include inflammatory disorders and injuries to the head and neck and require careful and accurate diagnosis

Benefits of Headache/Migraine prevention treatment

  1. Release of trigger points
  2. Dissolution of calcified fibroblasts
  3. New blood vessel formation
  4. Reversal of chronic inflammation
  5. Stimulation of collagen production
  6. Non-invasive treatment
  7. Relatively cheap
  8. Improves blood circulation
