Services
Osteopaths work with their hands, both to diagnose and treat problems. They use their clinical knowledge together with their highly skilled sense of touch to diagnose to treat their patients. This allows them to resolve the problems that cause you pain, discomfort, and immobility.
Osteopaths are highly trained and skilled at using osteopathic techniques to reduce and eradicate pain and discomfort, improve mobility, and restore a healthier state to the body.Their work can allow you to significantly reduce if not eliminate your pain-relieving medication. Osteopaths undergo rigorous training and examinations, and have to study for a minimum of 4 years full time in order to attain their degrees.

In our clinic we do have the skills and experience to treat everybody from new-borns to the elderly. Our youngest patient has been 1 day old our eldest has been 98 years old. As osteopaths we know in great detail about the anatomy of the body. We know your symptoms must be a result of some part of your anatomy, so we work hard to understand what part of your body is causing your problems.
Not all osteopaths are qualified to treat babies and children. Osteopaths who undergo further training in this field after they attain their degrees are better equipped to treat problems that present. It is a commonly held view that because babies and children are young, they should not have any structural defects in their bodies.
These can arise from simply being too stiff as your mobility is reduced gradually over time. Osteopaths help to improve the mobility of your body helping you to improve your overall well being as well as reducing your pain and discomfort. We are trained to treat patients who have osteopenia or osteoporosis with specially developed and gentle osteopathic techniques.
Runners present at our clinic with a range of problems. The most common presentations being leg (ankles, knees and hips) pelvis and back problems. Symptoms in the legs can range from tendinopathies such as Achilles problems, hamstrings and patella (knee caps) issues. Fascial and bursitis problems such as plantar fasciitis, hip bursitis etc., are also a cause for concern for the runner.

Just writing this to say a big "Thank You" to Susan Nicholson for giving me back the movement in my neck. Over the past few years I have suffered with restricted movement, especially when out driving, looking to the left and right. Over a period of 5 weeks I have now got back full movement back, wished I had attended Stamford Osteopathy Centre sooner!

To interested parties:
My first experience of treatment by Dr. Susan Nicholson was in excess of twenty years ago and since then, whenever the occasion arose, Dr. Susan has relieved my symptoms and kept me mobile. My wife was advised by her doctor that within a very short time she would need a hip replacement and sure enough, she got to the stage when she was only able to walk twenty to thirty yards at a time without resting. That was fifteen years ago. With the expertise of Dr. Susan, a hip replacement became unnecessary and since then, we have spent many holidays walking the hills, fells and

Viraj came highly recommended to me by several people and I now understand why - he has helped my baby boy no end resolving issues with reflux (which Viraj identified was in fact CMPA, where doctors hadn't), restricted neck movement and feeding issues which Viraj quickly spotted was due to a high pallet. After treatment, that night my son miraculously swallowed solid food which he had been really struggling with before. I now have one happy baby! I would recommend Viraj to any parents out there struggling with issues with their babies.

Having suffered from a variety of problems after many years of sporting activity, Sue at Stamford Osteopathic Clinic, with regular treatment, keeps me mobile and pain free. She is very personable, professional, knowledgeable and with a wealth of experience is very reassuring when explaining the treatment. Without Sue’s continued help I wouldn’t be able to enjoy an active life. I recommend her, without hesitation, to anyone who is suffering from injury or aches and pains. She is fantastic!

I have only good things to say about the clinic, from the ease of making an appointment to the treatment I received, absolutely fantastic. Viraj worked wonders and I regained full movement within hours of having been seen. I would recommend it to anyone.
It was my first time seeing an osteopath and I didn’t really know what to expect but Viraj was patient and kind with all of my questions. He was professional yet personable, the prefect combination!

I began visiting the Stamford Osteopathic Clinic with my newborn when he was 9 weeks old and not settling when laid on his back. Viraj welcomed us and spent time talking through the issues I was having as well as discussing the birth. Viraj took time to make sure I understood how he planned to treat my baby which was really reassuring. The difference after the first session was remarkable; my baby was far more content and could finally fall asleep without becoming distressed. I would absolutely recommend Viraj to anyone in a similar situation.

What an amazing place? After suffering excruciating pain for months in my back a friend suggested an osteopath?. This place came up first on my google search and I’m so glad it did. After my initial reservations I attended my first appointment and remarkably the next day I was amazed at how reduced the pain was, in fact it was almost gone! I know it wasn’t a ‘miracle cure’ but was how professional and knowledgeable Susan was that I immediately booked another appointment. After years, yes years of chronic pain I can’t believe how easy it’s been to reduce this - Thank you xx

I could not recommend Susan enough, she has treated both my children from 6 weeks old. My eldest is now 3 and loves going to see Susan because of her friendly and calm nature. I genuinely believe she has helped with his sleep, immune system and would especially highly recommend to anyone when teething as she always seemed to relieve the pain as soon as we went. I recently took my 3 month in because she had suddenly become unsettled and seemed to have pain and a bad stomach and I noticed an improvement in her straight after visiting. Susan is great with kids and I appreciate how she talks you through
