Osteopathy for Adults Cork City
(Pain & Dysfunction – Both Physical & Emotional)
Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment for pain and dysfunction of a range of systems in the human body. It will help with both physical and emotional pain.
Structurally – muscle, joint and ligament pain can be helped with Osteopathic treatment. Structural pain may be stress related neck pain, migraines or headaches, sinus pain and TMJ. Back and neck pain such as bulging discs and sciatica are also diagnosed and managed accordingly.
Subtler symptoms like, anxiety, IBS and insomnia that are caused by emotional stresses can also be helped with a more gentle approach like Cranial Osteopathy. It is a treatment so gentle it is suitable for all age groups from 1 week old to a person in their 90s.
If you have chronic ongoing pain and discomfort that has not been helped with conventional medicine, then Cranial Osteopathy is advisable to try. You can book your appointment in our online booking form on the Home page.
Headaches and Migraines including TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) can also be corrected with structural Osteopathy. The same applies for Tinnitus and Vertigo symptoms. (NB: If these are sudden or new symptoms though, please consult with your GP first).
Visceral Osteopathy concentrates on any dysfunction that may occur in our abdominal organs. Digestive issues of the bowel or repeat chest infections or sinusitis can also be cleared and managed with Osteopathy. Using manual techniques like Lymphatic Drainage, we can help to manage fluid build-up and relieve pain from chronic day to day illnesses.
Cranial Osteopathy for adults has become a large part of overall healthcare for mental and emotional wellbeing. Patients suffering with anxiety, depression or insomnia for example, find great relief with cranial osteopathy.
The treatment is a very gentle hands on treatment, helping to calm and regulate the central nervous system. (The Brain-Body Connection). The longest nerve in the body is called the Vagus nerve and most of the treatment concentrates on regulating this. It is nicknamed the ‘flight or fight’ nerve and patients who suffer anxiety know exactly how this feels. The treatment is bespoke to the individual as each patient has his or her own story behind their anxious thoughts and physical responses to it.
