Osteopaths in East Sussex
If you have not attended an appointment with an osteopath previously you will doubtless be beset by a number of concerns. Are you are wondering about the difference between osteopaths and chiropractors? Are you worried about what to wear? If so, you may find it helpful to visit the resources file.
How does osteopathic treatment work?
The philosophy driving osteopaths is a belief that the body is often able to remedy itself. The first question asked by a practitioner is how can I understand the deep, underlying cause of the pain or illness? Having recognised the genesis of the problem, resolving it becomes much easier.
What will happen at the first session?
In order to prepare effectively for a consultation, prepare a succinct summary of the background to your complaint as this is what the osteopath will wish to understand. Relevant facts will include: whether or not a trauma has occurred, the timeframe since first symptoms became manifest, and aggravating factors such as particular kinds of employment.
Are osteopaths in East Sussex properly trained?
Osteopaths in the UK must all graduate from a tertiary institution having completed a four-year degree course. Much of the training is similar to that of a doctor undertaking a medical degree, but the focus is more specialised on the anatomy of the muscles, joints and skeletal system.
As part of their degree, students work alongside osteopaths observing treatments as well as giving treatment under supervision.
Osteopaths operate under tight professional strictures which mandate ongoing investment in knowledge-building for all. This entails attendance at a minimum number of educational sessions each year. In addition many osteopaths voluntarily expand their knowledge with specialist courses.
Are osteopaths regulated?
All osteopaths are regulated by the Osteopaths Act 1993. The Act established the General Osteopathic Council to regulate the profession and maintain standards. It is an offence to work as an osteopath without being registered by the Council. If any patient wishes to pursue an allegation of professional misconduct against and osteopath, there is an official complaints procedure.
