Services
Bring with you a note of any medications (or the medications themselves) either prescribed or over the counter including any homeopathic or herbal remedies you are using. It will aid in assessing your condition and in reaching a correct diagnosis. On the first visit I will take a detailed case history including a full medical history.
In general, the first treatment lasts about 40-60 minutes, and subsequent treatments 40 minutes. Your first appointment is usually slightly longer to allow for a full case history to be taken. Currently, access to osteopathy in Devon on the NHS is limited, but services are becoming more widespread as commissioning authorities recognise the benefits of providing osteopathy to patients.
Most people imagine babies and children should have no stresses or strains in their bodies. However, birth is one of the most stressful events of our lives and the baby is subjected to enormous forces as the contractions push through the birth canal. The baby has to turn and twist as it squeezes through the bony pelvis.
