The Clinic has relocated to Balfron Glasgow G63 and our old address in Buckingham Terrace is now closed. We have moved all our IDD Therapy, Shockwave and Medical Equipment to our new contemporary spacious modern Clinic in the countryside. Although Mr. James Sneddon has now retired the Clinic is being run by our Principal Osteopath Mr Alan Rastelli.
When Alan joined the Clinic in 2019, Mr Sneddon quickly realised that we had an Osteopath with a special talent who was keen to continue the multidisciplinary approach pioneered by Mr Sneddon. Alan has enthusiastically embraced IDD Therapy, Shockwave, Laser and Exercise Therapy as well as utilising his outstanding Osteopathic Skills.

There are several misconceptions surrounding back pain. Often people say things like "My back is out / my neck is out" or "I've slipped a disc". These are common terms however can be very misleading for patients.
The vast majority of back pain is mechanical in nature and does not involve any serious pathology; however our professionals shall be able to assess you thoroughly and screen for any serious signs and symptoms and advise you accordingly towards successful management.

I couldn’t recommend Alan at the Buckingham clinic enough.
When I first attended I was doubled over with back pain, couldn’t even stand straight. 6 weeks later I’ve genuinely never felt so good and I don’t even take so much as a paracetamol. Alan is extremely professional and explains everything simply so you have a full understanding of the work he is doing and how it will benefit you. Alan’s passion for helping you get better really comes across and it really helped me focus when I was doing the exercise that he recommended. I’m now just doing spinal maintenance checks and again

After 2 years of suffering from back pain and several sessions with different osteopaths/physiotherapists who treated the symptoms rather than the problems, I followed a friend’s recommendation and went to the Buckingham clinic. Alan was able to identify the problem during the first session. I had manual therapy, IDD sessions as well as rehab exercises. I had a little hope when I first went there, but thanks to Alan's knowledge and skills I am now able to run without any back pain.
I can’t thank you enough Alan.

I had a rotator cuff injury for nearly a year where I could hardly lift it or sleep with the pain. Attended other practitioners for physio, osteopathy and some acupuncture with some degree of improvement but still leaving me with little hope of regaining a full recovery.
After a recommendation from my brother who had similar injuries but had great progress I attended Alan’s clinic for acupuncture and manipulation of the affected shoulder.
Within maybe 6 sessions I have full mobility of my shoulder and it is now pain free.
I have been given a toolkit of exercises and advice to build up strength

I have recently completed and intensive 20 session course at the Buckingham Clinic to treat my badly damaged back and I have to say that Alan has done an excellent job in helping me on the road to recovery. I am now much more mobile and experiencing a lot less pain. Alan is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent practitioner. I would highly recommend as a top osteopath.

Struggled with lower back pain for far too long, at work, unable to play golf, visited numerous chiropractors with little success. I eventually found The Buckingham Clinic (conveniently local in Balfron). A number of sessions with wonderful Osteopath Alan Rastelli has made a huge difference to my mobility and the back pain diminishing immensely. Really appreciated.

4 years of pain, 3 different chiropractors and sports therapists... they treated the symptoms but never really got to the core of the problem.....
Alan at Buckingham Clinic nailed it in the first appointment - real problem identified... treatment began.... very happy with the results and the advice on how to maintain optimum musculoskeletal health.
Wish 6 stars was an option.

I have attended for many years. I've had a range of treatments to deal with a variety of issues (massage, manipulation, phyback, acupuncture, shockwave, physiotherapy, functional movement to name but a few). I have always found the staff to be extremely helpful and the treatments efficacious. I regard my monthly spinal check as a vital part of my regular health routine in the way I get regular dental check ups and eye tests. I have recommended several people and never heard that they had other than a very positive experience.

Everyone at the clinic is amazing, friendly and super helpful. My teenage son is beeing taken care by the wonderful Camille for mild scoliosis and just after a month, there has been already slight signs of improvement in his movements and no more tension in his back. I've had a lot of trouble finding such qualified physiotherapists in Glasgow and I am really happy to have finally found the best place. Big thanks to the whole team.

I attended the clinic with pain in my shoulder with numbness and tingling down my arm. Before attending the clinic i was told that i had a problem with my shoulder. Mr Sneddon on initial appointment said it was coming from my neck, at this appointment i had a manipulation done on my neck and back and was then recommended for the IDD treatment.… After 10 sessions of this and a variety of other treatments Shock wave therapy, massage i can feel an amazing difference. I would highly recommend the clinic, on every visit i was made to feel comfortable and at ease during any treatments, everything

Have suffered lower back and leg pain on and off for some years. NHS only fill you up with pills which don't address the cause of the pain. So after a consult with Mr Sneddon IDD was recommended and after 6 weeks my symptoms are mostly gone! Before treatment walking more than 20 yards without stopping was a problem standing for more than a few… minutes was painful, and getting a full nights sleep was not posable. now I sleep 7 hours a night can stand and walk with very little trouble. So full marks to all the staff at the Buckingham clinic for the great service that they provide!!!!!!

Not usually being a social media reviewer I felt compelled to write one of my own having read the previous reviewers comments. My own experience has been nothing short of exemplary on all counts, having been a… health insurance patient myself I was personally treated with the utmost courtesy, efficiency and politeness by all the staff throughout my course of treatment. The treatments I received for my own condition of a frozen shoulder always included me giving consent prior to having any treatment applied. I am so much better than I was previous to having my treatment at the Buckingham

I had an accident at work in 2015, surgery was strongly recommended on my back, but I was very lucky and the problem was rectified with physiotherapy. In October 2016 , the problem reoccurred and was so bad that I had difficulty getting from A to B. I was aware of IDD therapy, and after no success with the NHS, and 18 pills a day, I decided to… visit Mr Sneddon. I went along armed with my MRI scan, to find out if I would be a suitable candidate for IDD therapy. Luckily I was accepted, and started my treatment that day, 8th march, for 20 sessions. It has changed my life, I no longer take
