Osteopathic Clinics West Midlands

Your initial consultation will take around 50 minutes. Before your actual osteopathic treatment commences you will be asked some questions about yourself and your general health (both past & present), medical history including operations and illnesses, and any medications you are taking. It is important that your osteopath can see and feel not only the area causing your problems, but also other areas of your body that may be related to your condition. Therefore, you will probably be asked to undress down to your underwear for examination and treatment. Please feel free to wear loose fitting shorts and a vest top if you will be more comfortable. During the clinical examination you will be asked to perform certain simple movements so your osteopath can observe the effects of your condition. Further examination, such as blood pressure, reflexes, joint mobility and muscle strength may also be conducted. The experienced osteopath will then use a highly developed sense of touch, called palpation, to identify any points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body. Your osteopath will make a diagnosis which will be discussed with you, and then treatment is given, if appropriate.

What can I expect on my first visit to an osteopath? A: The osteopath will compile a full case history of symptoms and lifestyle. a physical assessment will then take place to help achieve a diagnosis. You will usually be asked to remove some clothing near the area of the body to be examined. Osteopaths are trained to examine areas of the body using a highly-developed palpation, to determine conditions and identify areas of restriction. Osteopathy is a package of care that includes skilled mobilising and manipulative techniques, reinforced by guidance on diet and exercise. The osteopath will discuss with you the most appropriate treatment plan, estimating the likely number of sessions needed to treat your condition effectively. If the osteopath thinks that your condition is unlikely to respond to treatment, you will be advised about how to seek further investigation.
