Description: I am a retired, but fit general medical practitioner, in practice for 25 years, with a hospital background in general medicine, rheumatology, orthopaedics, rehabilitation, neurology, cardiology and respiratory medicine. On retirement age 60, I qualified in osteopathy from the London College Of Osteopathic Medicine, in 1999 and practiced Structural Osteo. I now practice from my home which is in a remote and peaceful place situated in large grounds. Patients are seen on the ground floor, and if indicated, may be driven right up to the front door except in exceptionally wet weather. My wife, a practising nurse, cannot be present all the time, so female patients may bring a friend or relative. I also have expertise in nutritional medicine, and I use pulsed electricity where osteopathic movement may be too painful

Specialities: Expertise at joint and soft tissue injections with cortisone and proliferate injections for arthritis of any joint including spine, using natural substances aimed at restoring lost cartilage

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.

Lower Back pain

Lower back pain is common, difficult to diagnose and often mis-treated. The causes are also complex ranging from traumatic accidents to degeneration of discs, or damage to tendons; frequently reported are episodes caused by performing unusual movements to which one is not accustomed such as lifting especially heavy items. The result can be excruciatingly painful and debilitating causing loss of productivity and difficulty sleeping due to discomfort even lying down. It is widely accepted across all forms of medical practice that, in most cases, left to themselves most bad back will recover slowly on their own. However, many are not content to wait for nature to run its course as the pain is too bad. Hence visits to osteopaths are often intended to speed the healing process. More importantly, in some cases the condition will not naturally resolve itself and may degenerate into a chronic condition which can dramatically impede quality of life. That is why most osteopaths would recommend early treatment so that the likelihood of developing a more serious condition is reduced.
