Frequently asked questions
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.
