- Sciatica
- Arthritic pain
- Muscle spasms
- Neuralgia
- Fibromyalgia
- Generalised aches and pains.
- Rheumatic pain
- Circulatory problems
- Cramp
- Digestion problems
- Inability to relax
- Headache arising from the neck (cervicogenic)*
- General, acute & chronic backache, back pain (not arising from injury or accident)*
- Uncomplicated mechanical neck pain (as opposed to neck pain following injury i.e. whiplash)*
- Frozen shoulder/ shoulder and elbow pain/ tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) arising from associated musculoskeletal conditions of the back and neck, but not isolated occurrences*
- Joint pains including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis as an adjunct to core OA treatments and exercise.
Patients of osteopaths also report improvements with many other conditions. Please call to speak with one of our Osteopaths, or email info@topnotchosteopathy to find out whether we could help.
