Osteopaths can help with a wide range of conditions affecting muscles, joints, and the body’s overall movement. Common reasons people seek osteopathic care include: Back and neck pain – from stiffness, muscle tension, or disc-related issues Joint pain and arthritis-related discomfort – including hips, knees, shoulders, and hands Muscle strains and ligament injuries – whether from sports, work, or daily activities Postural problems – often linked to sitting, driving, or work ergonomics Headaches and migraines – when related to tension in the neck, shoulders, or jaw Rehabilitation support – following surgery, injury, or illness affecting mobility Nerve-related pain – such as sciatica or trapped nerves Pregnancy-related discomfort – back, pelvic, and postural strains Circulatory or lymphatic issues – mild swelling, fluid retention, or poor mobility Jaw (TMJ) problems – including pain, tension, or clicking

Many patients are referred to osteopaths by their doctors, other health practitioners, and personal trainers. That being said, as osteopaths are primary care practitioners, you can make an appointment directly without a referral.

There is no objective answer to this question. Each patient presents with their own unique anatomy and is treated as so. Some patients may only need an appointment or two to see significant results, while others may require more frequent treatments. As a general rule of thumb, patients suffering from chronic problems (lasting 6 months or more), typically require more frequent treatment.

Costs for an osteopathic appointment varies. The initial appointment fee is ($120). Follow up appointments can be booked in increments of 30,45, and 60 minutes. These appointments are priced as follows: 30 minutes ($75), 45 minutes ($90), and 60 minutes ($120). Adam will work with you to best determine your treatment plan going forward.

I recommend patients abstain from eating a few hours prior to treatment. Arrive well hydrated, wearing clothes that you can move freely in. Immediately following treatment some gentle physical activity, such as walking, can be beneficial for treatment integration. Abstain from doing any heavy weight lifting or physical activity involving explosive movements immediately following treatment.

I recommend patients wear clothes that don't restrict movement. Athletic wear, sweats, and loose fitting clothing are all acceptable options to wear to treatment.

I will often times prescribe exercises for patients to complete at home in between treatments. Although osteopathic treatment in itself is substantial, staying consistent with these activities will ensure positive long-term outlook in regards to your respective condition.

As osteopaths we correct mechanical imbalances and restrictions throughout the body, as a result of this you may feel more energetic, balanced, and mobile. Post treatment soreness is a common symptom of treatment as a result of mobilization and engaging muscles that have been inactive for sometime. Improved sleep coupled with increased energy levels is a great indicator for effective treatment.
