Osteopaths are a regulated profession under the umbrella of the General Osteopathic Council who ensure a strict code of conduct and high level of training. Osteopaths are highly skilled in spinal disorders and low back pain. Sciatica, trapped nerves, stiff necks, muscle twinges and slipped or bulging discs are common ailments treated by Osteopathy. Osteopathic treatment is gentle and can be used on new born babies in the form of cranial osteopathy.

Osteopaths are trained to check suitability for manipulations as some groups are high risk, especially for manipulations of the neck. A special test is commonly used to determine possible restrictions of blood supply to the brain. A positive VBI test should prevent anyone from performing a neck manipulation as it is possible to cause a stroke.

As Osteopaths have a variety of treatment options available to them, they can offer so much more than manipulation. Articulation and gentle mobilisation can often free a locked joint without having to perform High Velocity Thrusts ( cracking of the joints).

In the Tamworth Staffordshire area there are excellent Osteopaths with experienced practitioners to treat your back or neck pain
