Osteopaths in Edinburgh
I’ll be completely honest with you, up until about a month ago, I didn’t even know what an osteopath was, never mind what they claim to do!
It has been said that osteopathy helps restore the bodies’ functions which have become tired, injured or stressed. I can certainly vouch for that!
Around six months ago now, I was involved in a nasty car crash, damaging my neck and back quite severely. Whilst I am thankful to still be here, I was in a massive amount of pain with the injuries. My poor car was written off too!
My doctor sent me to an Osteopaths in Edinburgh as a last resort to try curbing the pain of the pressure. Having never been to any alternate medicine treatments before, I was quite reluctant to what the procedure would involve.
Initially, my consultant performed a full examination on me to try to establish the cause or route of the issues. I was pleasantly surprised at the osteopath trying to get to the bottom of the problem rather than just skimming over it.
The treatment itself was aimed at relieving the pressure in my back and neck in order to curb the pain. I would say to anyone who is contemplating Osteopaths in Edinburgh to go for it as it was the best thing I ever did!
Whilst the treatment did not completely take away the pain in my back immediately, just after the first session, it felt much more at ease.
I am not sure whether the osteopath clinic worked in a psychological way more than anything else but I would definitely recommend it to those considering it!
