Alstonville Osteopathy

Alstonville Osteopathy

We pride ourselves on our patient-centered care and integrated, holistic approach to injury management and wellness with the aim to allow the body to regain and maintain optimum health. Our practitioners are dedicated, experienced and university trained health professionals working with individuals of all ages from newborns to the elderly and everyone in between. Our unique location next door to the Alstonville swimming pool and the local fitness centre also allows us to work closely alongside swimming coaches and personal trainers to enhance recovery and rehabilitation.
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that focuses on the connection between the body structures and how it functions. Osteopaths are required to complete a 5 year university degree to become registered as primary health care practitioners within Australia, specialising in musculoskeletal conditions. This allows your treatment to be covered by health funds, the Medicare Enhanced Primary Care Scheme (available through your GP), Workcover and Department of Veteran Affairs.

Some of the conditions we treat include:

Headaches and migraines
Back and neck pain
Respiratory conditions e.g. asthma
Hip and knee pain and injury
Ankle and foot pain and injury
Shoulder, elbow and wrist pain and injury
Digestive conditions e.g. IBS
Sporting injuries
Unsettled babies e.g. colic, poor feeding or sleep disturbances
Pre and post natal care
Occupational problems e.g. Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Pain associated with chronic or acute trauma

Osteopathy is suitable for all ages from newborns to the elderly and treatment is tailored to the individual and their specific requirements on a case by case basis. This is because different techniques work more effectively for different people depending on their genetics, flexibility, age, type of injury or condition and comfort level.
