Osteopathy treat of a wide variety of musculo-skeletal problems, but it also has a role to play in the management of a number of other conditions. The most common complaints for which patients consult Osteopaths include: *back and neck pain, *sciatica, *headaches, *pains in peripheral joints such as shoulders, knees and ankles, tendinitis and muscle strains, *work-related and repetitive strain injuries, and *sports-related injuries.
It's not the role of any health professional to try to define what another health care professional is, and what they do. If you want a definition, it would be best to ask people in those professions. What we can do is tell you about the defining characteristics of Osteopathy, which are its underlying philosophy and its broad range of techniques.
Osteopaths believe that getting patients to keep returning for more treatments is not the best form of long term preventive care. The key to preventing health problems recurring, and to developing long-term solutions, lies in increasing patient's awareness of the causes of problems, and in giving them the help they need to take responsibility for their own health. Osteopaths thus believe that long-term prevention is the result of a cooperative effort between patient and practitioner.
There's no such thing as a form of medical treatment which is guaranteed 100% safe in every case. Even the painkillers you buy in the supermarket for a headache may cause severe side effects in some patients. That said, however, Osteopathy has one of the best safety records of any medically-related profession. Osteopaths are trained to recognise any condition that might make Osteopathic treatment inadvisable, and will refer patients for appropriate medical attention in such cases.
No, as Osteopaths are primary health care providers. So an appointments can be made by calling the clinic directly on 03 9470 1010.
Private health insurance policies have an option called "extras". If Osteopathy is included in your policy we can provide a on the spot claim via HICAPS. Osteopathy is only covered by medicare if you are eligible for an enhanced primary care plan that is initiated by your treating doctor.
