Directions to Steiner Health Clinic
Osteopaths at Steiner Health Clinic are happy to treat patients with any condition listed above.
Neck stiffness
Neck stiffness is one of the most common conditions presented to ostoepaths. The most typical presentation is a muscle in spasm which is a reaction by the body to protect a deeper primary cause which may be an indication of a more serious neck complaint. Frequently the cause of the pain is a single violent trauma such as a whiplash or sports injury. More worrying would be an underlying degenerative condition weakening the discs in the spinal column. An osteopath will treat this condition most effectively after the worst of the spasm has passed so that the underlying condition may be effectively diagnosed and addressed. Typically rest and ibuprofen will be recommended in the interim. Once the muscles have relaxed manipulation or mobilisation are likely to be beneficial.
Cerebral Palsy
Science has not yet unlocked the mystery of cerebral palsy and there is no cure. Nevertheless a number of treatments have been recognised as helpful to patients. The Henry Spink Foundation which is one of the leading research charities for cerebral palsy recognises the benefits of a number of techniques, some of which are physical treatments. These treatments include Feldenkrais, Acupuncture, Acupressure and the mainstream physical treatments - osteopathy, chiropractic and physiotherapy. The way in which cranial osteopaths treat cerebral palsy patients is by seeking to drain the lymphatic system with gentle massage, increasing blood flow and draining sinus fluids.
