• As a form of manual therapy, Osteopathy is highly effective for reducing pain and discomfort and focuses on the manipulation of joints and soft tissues to improve and restore function.
  • At the heart of Osteopathic principles is the philosophy that the body has an innate ability to heal itself and it is the responsibility of the Osteopath to facilitate this function.

Preparing for your treatment

  • A full medical history will be taken on your initial consultation. To allow for a comprehensive overview on the status of your health, it would be good to bring any medical records, test results and scans that you may have, even if you think they may not be relevant to your specific problem.
  • You will have the opportunity to describe your problem and will be asked associated questions to determine the root cause
  • After the medical history has been recorded, a physical examination to evaluate areas of pain, tenderness, restriction, and function will take place. An assessment of posture and joint movement will help determine predisposing and maintaining factors contributing to the problem area. It is a good idea to wear loose fitting and comfortable clothing for your consultation. 
  • Following the initial consultation, which will include treatment, you will be advised on a diagnosis, unless further tests, scans ,and or a referral to your GP or specialist are required.  You will be advised on what the next steps will be and how many treatments will be needed going forward and what you can do to further progress your situation through exercise and observing aggravating factors.
  • Osteopathic treatment is pain-free, whilst there might be manipulation of painful joints and soft tissues, the treatment itself is always conservative and there are numerous ways to treat any one condition.
Testimonial

What I like about Keerti is that he doesn’t just work on the alignment of the body, he really treats you like an individual case with many dimensions within the mind, body and spirit that could be affecting you. He is bursting with energy and enthusiasm for his work and I found he has layers and layers of knowledge taken from western medical teachings and ancient holistic knowledge from the East, that gives him such a vast perspective on your case. 

Keerti is the only doctor who understood my back problem and solved it completely. He is an absolutely amazing doctor.
