Directions to Sager Osteopathy and Sports Injuries Clinic
Osteopaths at Sager Osteopathy and Sports Injuries Clinic are happy to treat patients with any condition listed above.
Back pain
More than 65% of British men and women will suffer at least one episode of severe back pain during their adult lives. Pain can be caused by a trauma such as an accident or fall or as the result of bad posture, cramped working conditions at a computer or behind a steering wheel or as a result of lifting heavy loads. Frequently the cause is an unexpected event which triggers an underlying disc weakness. The result can be intense pain and, in extreme cases, a complete lack of mobility. Traditional treatment protocols ordinarily resort to drugs and rest. However, the physical therapy professions such as osteopathy can often significantly speed recovery through massage, manipulation and mobilsation of joints.
Birth Trauma and accidents whilst a child
Psychiatrists and psychologists are well-known for stressing the importance in understanding what happens before a child is born, during the birth process and what happens in the early years. Cranial osteopaths have long recognised that the birthing process imposes enormous strain on babies, particularly if the birth is difficult or elongated. The baby's skull stretches to accomodate the narrow birth canal, but only gradually recovers its shape. After a difficult birth the process of "unmoulding" may be incomplete, leaving residual stress within the head and impacting on the nervous system. These stresses can give rise to conditions such as colic, trapped wind, regurgitation, feeding difficulties and sleep problems. In addition childhood is a time of slips, trips, falls and scrapes, each of which can potentially impose a similar burden of stress.
