Hello! I just had a quick question, does osteopathy help those with chronic tension headaches primarily due to neck and shoulder muscles

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Abel In my experience, osteopathy has great results with tension headaches due to tightness in the neck or shoulders. Hope that helps, Ashley.

[@Lspacehopper]

Yes, definitely.

I started seeing an osteopath for the past 3 weeks for chronic back,knee and foot pain. I have been much worse inbetween my appointments. Is it normal to be worse for several days?

[@Anteater23]

Yes can take a week for back to get used to the treatment

Mild ligment flavum thickening & facetal arthropathy compression nerve in L4 & L5 From my mri report. Is this treatable in osteopathy

Dear sir i am 48 year old diabatese pt.i have pain in my rt. hip joint.Dr. advised for THR. is there any solution in osteopathy.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

It depends. If your doctor has advised a THR then I can assume it is very osteoarthritic? Osteopathy may be able to help with the pain but it won't fix the joint. You should also be doing exercise and stretching. I hope that helps, Ashley

Hi , I'm italian and study osteopath in a private collage school . When i finish the scool can I go in usa for working holiday with italian d.o. ( formed in 5 years full time ) ? Reply my quest please ! Thanks :)

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Michele I don't know where your qualification will allow you to practice around the world but our UK qualification doesn't permit us to practice in the US. In the US osteopaths are licensed physicians who can prescribe medicine. Good luck with your studies.. Ashley

Can osteopath help with intestinal distension?

[@truebomba]

My lovely aunt has a chronic pain in her thumb for the last 6 months. until now, no medical treatment succeeded in a permanent relief. She finally starts visiting an osteopathy practitioner, because it is rare to find one in my country. I hope she will get better.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Agharabo I hope your aunt finds something to relieve the pain. I wish her all the best. Ashley

[@truebomba]

Thank you

[@marquez2390]

Agharabo how is she now?

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Frbro? Fibromyalgia?

[@heather-vs9qe]

Thank you...for all that info...Wow...

You're most welcome! Glad to hear the video was informative. Best wishes, Ashley.

[@joannemelanson4170]

Yes..fibromyalgia...

[@joannemelanson4170]

And whip lash

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

Hi Joanne, whiplash is a very common complaint we see in practice. Osteopaths do work with people with whiplash but the recovery is still very slow because we are dealing with ligament sprain which take a long time to heal. However Osteopaths can help with the muscular tightness and pain associated with the whiplash.

[@PrecisionWellbeing]

True Fibromyalgia is a very complex pain disorder which osteopaths do work with. In my experience fibromyalgia needs a multi angled approach. I find we need to work on nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, psychology/emotional, exercise and digestive components to get a really good result. Simply having treatments may not be enough and in some cases the body is too sensitive to have treatment as it can seem too painful. I hope that makes sense, best wishes, Ashley.
