Welcome to Brighton and Hove Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions mainly focusing on muscle and joint injuries and other painful conditions.
Osteopathy is recognised by the British Medical Association and is based on the principle that the well-being of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together. The main aims of treatment are to help the body's own repair and adaptation processes to heal tissue damage, reduce pain, restore function and where possible to do so without the use of drugs or surgery.
Treatment not only helps alleviate symptoms of the painful condition, but addresses the causative factors involved in creating the condition in the first place.
The treatment also aims to prevent the condition from recurring, which may include postural and ergonomic advice to prevent strain and injury. They may also provide advice on exercise to aid recovery, promote health and prevent symptoms recurring.
