Norwich Osteopathic Clinic

A regulated field of healthcare devoted to the diagnosis and treatment of problems in the body's bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves and connective tissues. Osteopaths are concerned with how well all these parts function together as a whole unit.

Osteopaths use highly refined observation and palpation skills to diagnose the problem and, importantly, also try to identify the cause of the dysfunction to try to prevent it recurring. The cause is commonly due to wear and tear, poor posture, injury, stress, or disease to name a few.

Treatment restores normal movement and function using a combination of gentle massage, muscle stretching, joint mobilisations, and joint manipulations as appropriate. We may also suggest exercises, or changes to lifestyle and body use to prevent the problem recurring.
