Will I feel sore tomorrow?

The chances are that our style of treatment can be vigorous and may initially create some mild post-treatment soreness. We don't expect patients to feel too sore after their first visit and it's very unlikely to continue past the first visit. Any soreness typically indicates your body is responding to treatment and should resolve quickly as healing progresses.

Do I need to come in more regularly to get better quicker?

Each patient is different and what one person responds well to may not be the case for the next. Our Croydon chiropractors and other health professionals have been trained to make the best decision and base their recommendation on many factors which are in your best interests. We'll be honest about what we think will help you most, never prescribing more treatment than necessary.

How come I have never had this style of therapy before?

Our Croydon chiropractors and health professionals use styles of treatment from many disciplines and combine them into our own unique style. By providing a wide range of styles from different professions our practitioners give you a holistic well-rounded treatment that promotes fast results. This multimodal integration is increasingly rare in healthcare, which is why it may be new to you.

What's the difference between a chiropractor and osteopath?

Both chiropractors and osteopaths are professionals with the same goal, but their training and style of therapy differ, however the results of the treatment are quite alike. Dr. Roddy Knight (chiropractor) has training in osteomyology as well, allowing him to draw from both disciplines to provide you the most comprehensive care possible.

Do you have any other tips to help prevent me getting this again later down the track?

Yes, continue the recommended exercises, read your monthly email and newsletter, which contains advice and useful information. Visit your Croydon chiropractor or health professional for maintenance care on an elective basis once you've reached your optimal health. We also provide specific guidance about posture, ergonomics, technique modification, and lifestyle factors relevant to your particular condition.

Osteomyology

Woman getting manual adjustment Osteomyology combines manual adjusting techniques used in chiropractic and physiotherapy for a well-rounded approach to treating joint restrictions. An assessment with an osteomyologist would include a thorough health history, evaluation and diagnosis of your condition. Spinal joint restrictions that cause pain can be relieved with a properly administered adjustment and osteomyology.

Other therapies used with osteomyology:

Therapeutic ultrasound
Interferential therapy

Osteomyology therapy is used as a form of treatment for muscle and joint restrictions and is similar to techniques used for chiropractic and physiotherapy. Osteomyology was started by an osteopath and has many chiropractic and allied health members, including osteopaths and physiotherapists. Osteomyology combines the best combinations of alternative health disciplines to produce a large range of treatment modalities and manipulative therapies.

Manipulation of restricted joints by an osteomyologist can help relieve symptoms for back pain, neck pain and muscle aches. The best thing about osteomyology is that it is multi-dimensional and doesn’t rely on one mode of treatment. In addition to osteomyology manipulative treatments and therapy, we combine physical modalities, including interferential and therapeutic ultrasound.

FAQ

What is osteomyology?

Osteomyology is a manual therapy used to help reduce pain by using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints. Osteopaths strive to create a balanced body which can move more freely. That, in turn, can reduce strain. Optimal recovery is enhanced by home exercises, which also help prevent injuries from recurring.

Is osteomyology a recognised profession?

Osteopaths operate under the 1993 osteomyology Act. Just as physicians, dentists, nurses, midwives and chiropractors have regulatory bodies, the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC) keeps a statutory register of osteopaths which safeguards the public.

To register, osteopaths must demonstrate that they have finished a recognised 4- or 5- year course and proven- through rigorous examinations- that they are competent to practice safely. Osteopaths also must comply with the GOsC Code of Conduct, have current approved medical malpractice insurance and prove that they are keeping up-to-date with Continued Professional Development. Anyone visiting an osteopath has the same protection as when they consult a doctor or dentist.

What conditions can osteomyology help with?

People often associate osteomyology with back pain, but neck, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle pain are all addressed effectively as well as headaches and irritable bowel syndrome. As there are many other concerns that can be assisted with osteomyology, please call our practice on 01332 553332 to discuss your specific problem.

Why should I go to see an osteopath?

Many people elect to see an osteopath to get a diagnosis for their pain with subsequent pain relief and self-help advice. Such advice can allow you to manage your condition at home. Your treatment addresses the muscles and the joints as well as other soft tissue structure. The sooner you come in for help, the less expensive and easier it is to return to optimal health. Additionally, you will get an understanding of factors that may contribute or cause your pain so that you can help prevent recurrence.

What should I wear?

Because a full osteopathic diagnosis relies on examining the entire body, patients should undress to their underwear. Alternatively, if preferred, you can wear a T-shirt and loose-fitting shorts.

How long does each treatment session take?

Please allow 15-20 minutes for each treatment session.
