What is osteopathy?
Osteopaths are primary health professionals that use a variety of techniques to help correct abnormal physical conditions. Conditions could include physical injuries to bones, joints and muscles, headaches, and many other physical and functional disorders, such as back and neck pain.
The Osteopath will use appropriate treatment, after a full assessment of the patient. A wide variety of treatment techniques are used. Techniques could include massage to muscles, mobilization and manipulation to joints, and stretches.
Osteopaths work together with other registered health professionals including general practitioners, specialists and radiologists to provide the best quality of care for patients. Osteopaths are able to treat ACC claims patients without referral from a medical doctor and refer for x-rays and to other health professionals if required.
