Bunbury Osteopathic Clinic

Bunbury Osteopathic Clinic

Osteopathy is the science of human mechanics. It is a system of diagnosis and treatment which lays main emphasis on the structural and mechanical problems of the body. The osteopath concerns himself with the nerves, the muscles and joints of the body, the neuro-musculo-skeletal system.
The osteopath treats his patients with his hands. The muscles and joints are examined carefully and the appropriate treatment might include massaging and stretching techniques and gentle manipulation of the joints, especially those of the spinal column.
Because it is so common, spinal pain accounts for more than half the workload of the registered osteopath. However, many other conditions affect the mechanics of the body and the following are conditions commonly treated by an osteopath.

Sports injuries, joint pain (including arthritis), headache, migraine, sciatica, repetitive strain injuries, joint stiffness and many other conditions not usually associated with the mechanics of the musculoskeletal system.

The Bunbury Osteopathic Clinic has been servicing the manual health care needs of Bunbury and surrounds for over twenty years and is very much a family orientated practice.
We are particularly interested in finding the underlying causes of mechanical problems with an aim to providing long term solutions for each patient. From the young and athletic to the elderly and less mobile, due to the gentle nature of osteopathic treatment, osteopathy can provide a treatment to suit you.
