Heath Insurance
Most insurance companies
will fund osteopathic treatment including Aviva, AXA-PPP Healthcare
and Simply Health.
Patients
of any age can be treated by the osteopath who will start with
a detailed case history to find out about your current condition.
You will also be asked questions about your general medical history
and lifestyle.
A careful examination is made of the symptomatic area as well as
an assessment of the way your body functions as a whole.
Once a diagnosis is made this will be discussed with you. If necessary,
the osteopath may need to refer you for further investigation such
as x-rays, scans or blood tests. A proposal of what treatment is
necessary will then be provided.
Treatment involves a mixture of massage and stretching techniques
and occasional gentle manipulations. Techniques used are tailored
to the individual. Most patients find treatment comfortable and
pleasant.
