Problems an Osteopath Can Assess
People visit Health Point Practice with recent injuries as well as pain or stiffness that has developed over time. Common reasons for arranging an osteopathic assessment include:
Lower and upper back pain
Neck and shoulder pain
Sciatica and nerve-related symptoms
Hip and knee pain
General joint pain and stiffness
Muscle aches and spasm
Frozen shoulder
Minor sports and running injuries
Arthritic and rheumatic pain
Neck-related headache
Pregnancy-related aches and pains
An assessment helps establish whether osteopathic care is appropriate and whether another healthcare professional or further investigation should be considered.
What Happens at Your Osteopathy Appointment?
Your osteopath will first discuss your symptoms, relevant medical history, activities and the effect the problem is having on you.
A physical examination can then be used to assess movement, joints, muscles and other relevant structures. Your osteopath will explain their findings and discuss an appropriate plan with you before treatment begins.
Treatment is individual rather than based on a fixed routine. Depending on your presentation, it may include manual therapy, soft-tissue work, movement advice and targeted exercises for the affected area and supporting muscles or joints.
Treatment, Rehabilitation & Dry Needling
Health Point Practice combines hands-on osteopathic treatment with rehabilitation where appropriate. The aim is not simply to focus on the painful area, but to understand factors that may be contributing to the problem and help you manage your recovery.
Both osteopathic practitioners have completed postgraduate training in medical dry needling, which may be considered as part of treatment when clinically appropriate.
Exercise and rehabilitation advice can also support patients returning to everyday activity, work, running or sport.
Qualified Osteopathic Care in Tadcaster
The practice's osteopaths hold Master's-level qualifications in Osteopathy and have undertaken additional postgraduate clinical training.
The team's experience includes working with people affected by general muscle and joint pain, persistent pain, pregnancy-related discomfort and sports-related problems. Treatment planning is collaborative, with time taken to understand the patient's history, examination findings and individual goals.
Health Point Practice can also support onward investigation where appropriate. A private MRI referral pathway is available for patients whose clinical presentation indicates that further imaging should be considered.
Patients under 16 should contact the practice before making a booking, as the clinic's osteopaths are not paediatric specialists.
