Case Studies - BUSINESS

We have included some of our patient Case Studies which we think will give you a clearer understanding of what an osteopath does, how they can help and what kind of problems they can help with.

These case examples are some of the most common problems our osteopaths treat. These examples should give you a better idea of how our osteopaths work & the results they can provide.

Busy professional with Headaches

Kate, an office worker, aged 28, recently presented to the clinic complaining of headaches and a little lower back pain. When she was 8, Kate had a heavy fall out of a tree onto her bottom. She was bruised and sore for a few days, but soon forgot about it. Unknown to her, she still carried with her compressive strain in her sacrum and lumbar spine, and in the base of her skull.

Baby with digestive difficulties

Jamie presented at 11 weeks. He was getting more & more difficult to settle & his bouts of crying were lengthening. His symptoms included a hard abdomen, him squirming due to wind pain in the digestive tract, & difficulty bringing up and expelling wind.

On examination restrictions were found in his left hip & in his left occipital region.

Child with Head, Ear & Sinus Congestion

Sally is a ten year old girl who over the years has suffered repeatedly from recurrent ear infections. Due to the pain & discomfort of these she has had to have three sets of gromits inserted from the time she was a baby to four years of age.

Recently Sally has suffered from a couple of colds leading to mild hearing difficulty & head congestion. She went to see her ENT specialist who performed a hearing test to establish if she had any hearing loss.
