Osteopath near Pakenham
Osteopathy Near Pakenham
Osteopathy is a form of healthcare that focuses on how the muscles, joints, spine, nerves and other body systems work together.
Rather than only looking at the painful area, osteopaths consider how the body functions as a whole. For example, an old ankle injury may change the way you walk, which can then place extra load on the knee, hip or lower back.
At Beaconsfield Sports & Spinal, your osteopath will take a detailed history, assess how your body is moving, and develop a treatment and management plan suited to your individual needs.
Osteopaths in Australia are registered health professionals and complete university training before becoming registered with the Osteopathy Board of Australia.
Hands-On Osteopathic Treatment
Osteopathic treatment may involve a range of hands-on techniques, depending on your condition, comfort level and goals.
This may include:
- Soft tissue massage
- Joint mobilisation
- Spinal or peripheral joint manipulation where appropriate
- Stretching techniques
- Gentle rhythmic joint movement
- Rehabilitation and exercise advice
- Education around posture, load management and injury prevention
Our aim is to help reduce pain, improve movement and give you a clearer understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms.
Lifestyle, Posture and Rehabilitation Advice
Osteopathy is not only about hands-on treatment.
Your osteopath may also discuss lifestyle, work, sport, posture, stress, training load, ergonomics or other factors that may be contributing to your pain or injury.
Where appropriate, we may provide simple exercises, movement strategies, rehabilitation advice or recommendations to help you manage your condition and reduce the chance of recurrence.
If your condition requires further investigation or another type of healthcare provider, we can also help guide you in the right direction.
Shockwave Therapy Near Pakenham
Beaconsfield Sports & Spinal also offers shockwave therapy near Pakenham.
Shockwave therapy uses acoustic wave energy and is commonly used in musculoskeletal healthcare for certain tendon and soft tissue conditions. It may be considered for areas such as the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, ankle, heel or foot, depending on your presentation.
Your practitioner will assess whether shockwave therapy is suitable for your condition and explain how it may fit into your overall treatment plan.
Dry Needling Near Pakenham
Our osteopaths may also use dry needling as part of your treatment plan.
Dry needling involves the use of fine needles to target tight or sensitive areas within muscles. It may be used to assist with muscle tension, pain, mobility and irritation in certain conditions.
Dry needling may be considered for areas such as the neck, shoulders, lower back, hips, glutes, hamstrings, knees, calves, Achilles, heel or foot.
Your osteopath will discuss whether dry needling is appropriate for you before using it as part of your care.
