The conditions above are just a small sample of the issues patients most commonly consult an osteopath for. It is not intended to be a comprehensive list by any means, more of an introduction. Osteopaths are primary medicine practitioners, which means we are fully trained to know when you may need referral to a medical specialist for any of these issues. We are complementary health practitioners and are happy to work with your GP and other specialists in a collaborative way to help you get the best out of your health care.
