Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy for the human body.
A consultation and diagnosis will decide which of the hands-on treatment techniques are to be used: these stretch, balance or manipulate tissues and joints to improve health and promote pain relief.
It is used to treat back and neck pain, sports or work injuries, joint disorders such as arthritis, pregnancy and postpartum pain, infant problems such a birth trauma or colic.
- You do not need a referral from the GP to visit the Osteopath.
- Osteopaths are registered with ACC and can lodge claims on your behalf.
- Osteopaths are regulated by the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand (OCNZ).
