Examination:

The Physical examination you will be asked to undress down to your underwear. If you feel a little uncomfortable with this, by all means bring loose fitting shorts. You are also more than welcome to bring someone with you to act as your chaperone. 
We will assess your posture and range of motion through specific joints during the first stage of the physical examination. This will be followed by any necessary orthopaedic, neurological examination and special tests such as blood pressure  and muscle power tests  to distinguish the structure causing the symptoms. We focus on promoting overall well-being and treating the root cause of your pain. 

Treatment:

We will discuss the diagnosis with you and explain what treatment can be done for your problem. We use massage, articulation, ligament tension balancing, cranial techniques and sometimes manipulation in which the bones are gapped resulting  in a cracking noise ( like people who crack their knuckles). 
You will be given some advise on what to do at home and some exercises if appropriate.

Some patients prefer regular, preventative osteopathic treatment while others seek treatment after a painful episode and call back if further problems arise.
