Problems We Can Treat

At The Ashworth Practice, we believe in the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Our team of dedicated osteopaths is here to facilitate this natural process, helping you regain your health and maintain it in the long run. We specialise in treating a wide range of conditions, using a holistic approach that considers the whole person, not just the symptoms. Here are some of the common problems we can help you with:

Musculoskeletal Problems

Osteopathy is well-known for its effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal problems. These include neck and back pain, joint pain, arthritis, sports injuries and repetitive strain injuries. Our osteopaths use a variety of techniques, such as manipulation, stretching, and massage, to relieve pain, improve mobility, and enhance your body’s natural healing processes.

Postural Problems

Poor posture can lead to a host of health issues, including chronic pain, decreased flexibility, and impaired functioning. Our osteopaths can help correct postural problems, teaching you how to maintain proper alignment and prevent future issues.

Digestive Issues

Many people are surprised to learn that osteopathy can help with digestive issues. Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), constipation, and acid reflux can often be linked to tension and imbalance in the musculoskeletal system. Our osteopaths can use gentle, hands-on techniques to relieve these tensions, improving digestion and overall wellbeing.

Headaches and Migraine Prevention

Headaches and migraines can be debilitating, but osteopathy offers a natural, non-pharmaceutical approach to managing these conditions. By addressing the underlying causes, such as tension in the neck or imbalances in the cranial bones, we can help reduce the frequency and intensity of your headaches or migraines.

Pregnancy-Related Discomfort

Pregnancy can put a lot of strain on a woman’s body, leading to discomfort and pain. Our osteopaths can provide safe, effective treatment to relieve these symptoms, making your pregnancy journey more comfortable.

Birth Difficulties and Childhood Injuries

Sometimes injuries occur when we are in early childhood, a difficult birth or fall as a child.

If caught early these can be treated before they develop longer term effects. Cranial Osteopathy can be used to assess strain patterns in immature tissues and is a safe and gentle treatment for babies and children.

CAN WE HELP YOU?

Many physical problems we experience in our lives are developments from old injuries.  Untreated sports injuries can progress to joint pain which in time becomes arthritis.

When you live with long-term joint pain, you move differently which puts asymmetrical stress on your spine, potentially leading to neck and back pain.

Osteopathic philosophy is that the body is a complex and interconnected system.

We are trained to explore the reasons BEHIND the pain, why you have not recovered by yourself.

When your unique pathway is unravelled, the reasons you haven’t recovered as nature intended are discovered and your individual treatment programme is developed.

At The Ashworth Practice, we’re committed to helping you live a healthier, happier life. If you’re struggling with any of the conditions mentioned above, or if you have other health concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to us. Our team is here to help you understand your body better and guide you towards optimal health.  For us, every individual is unique, and so is their path to health. Let us be a part of your journey.
