Osteopaths treat the whole body.

Osteopaths are trained to diagnose what is causing your pain or refer you to the right place if more appropriate.
They treat joints, muscles, bones, fascia, nerves, ligaments, tendons, viscera, the lymphatic system and advise on pain management, lifestyle changes, exercises and prevention. Hands on techniques help restore the body back to normal function.

There are so many different problems that we can help with; we treat far more than just back pain.
All our osteopaths offer a free face to face 15 minute appointment to discuss if treatment might be of help and to answer any of your questions.

During the month of July, we are offering a free ear health assessment at Church Street Practice in Bradford on Avon. We will be able to tell you about any ear wax build up that you might have, suggest ways of managing any build up, itchiness or pain.
If there is a significant build up causing loss of hearing, tinnitus or soreness then we can arrange an appointment to have the ear wax removed (at the normal cost of £68). If any other treatment is necessary, then we can signpost you in the right direction.

Have you heard of the Vagus nerve?

Mechanical restrictions, tensions and dysfunction at the top of the neck can cause far more than just pain. The vagus nerve is the main nerve of the system that controls digestion, heart rate and other vital functions and it exits the brain at the base of the skull/top of the neck.

Functions:

Plays a vital role in digestion - hunger, sickness, acid production in the stomach etc.
Heart rate, blood pressure and breathing.
Immune response.
Mood.
Mucus and saliva production.
Skin and muscle sensations.
Speech.
Taste.
Urine output.
Dysfunction of the vagus nerve can cause:

Abdominal pain and bloating.
Acid reflux.
Changes to heart rate, blood pressure or blood sugar.
Difficulty swallowing.
Dizziness or fainting.
Hoarseness, wheezing or loss of voice.
Loss of appetite.
Nausea and vomiting.
Whilst there can be many reasons for these symptoms, it might be worth considering a mechanical cause for them - a recent accident, an older knock to the head or fall, poor posture or working position or repetitive strains from a hobby or playing of a musical instrument.

Why not contact us to arrange a free 15 minute consultation if you are interested in seeing if we can help you?
