Description: Bury St Edmunds Osteopaths is a group practice of six clinically trained osteopaths, an acupuncturist and a sports massage therapist. With our combined knowledge and expertise, we offer a balanced approach to health - treating the whole person, not just the symptoms
Specialities: We offer complete wellbeing, for all the family. From pregnancy and babies through to old age, we help to relieve pain and suffering and prevent future problems occurring. By helping to ensure the entire body is working in balance, osteopathic treatment can reduce swelling and inflammation, improve mobility and relieve pain. Some of the conditions osteopathy can help with are: Generalised aches & pains Joint pains (including hip and knee pain from osteoarthritis) Arthritic pain Back pain Neck pain Headache Frozen shoulder and elbow pain/tennis elbow Circulatory problems Cramp Digestion problems Sciatica Muscle spasms Neuralgia Fibromyalgia Inability to relax Rheumatic pain Minor sports injuries and tensions
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 various conditions. In addition childhood is a time of slips, trips, falls and scrapes, each of which can potentially impose a similar burden of stress.
From an osteopathic perspective edema - or an abnormal concentration of fluid in any part of the body - is most frequently the result of a blockage of the body's normal absorptive flows which may be caused by a trauma or by post-operative scarring for example. The danger is the viscious cycle whereby edemas cause further blockages to blood vessels and nerves which impedes their function giving rise to tissue congestion exacerbating the problem. The recommended treatment for edema is to restore free movement to the lymphatice drainage system via gentle manipulation or massage. The intended effect is improve circulation, increased resorption, and a system that can naturally heal itself.
I have been very satisfied with treatment from the practitioner. The service in arranging the appointment was very good and I will refer the Osteopath Network to family and friends.
