Osteopathy
Osteopathic treatment is the study of the body's biomechanics. It considers how each part of the musculoskeletal, neurological and visceral systems interact with and influence the human body. It is a holistic approach to health and wellness while understanding the effects and importance of stresses on the musculoskeletal system.Osteopathy Clinic in Springfield Lakes Ipswich

Our osteopaths in our Ipswich and Springfield Lakes Clinic offer patient-centred approaches to healthcare and functional improvement. They recognise the vital link between the structure of the body and the way it functions. osteopathic therapy focuses on how the skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves, circulation, connective tissue and internal organs function as a holistic unit.
Our Osteopath Services
Only the best osteopaths with recognised training become Allied Health Professionals registered with AHPRA. As such can accept DVA, work cover and GP referrals (Medicare) for patients on health care and chronic care management plans. Osteopath services may include a referral for imaging as well as issue medical certificates for the workplace.
We find that an Osteopath can get much better results where they use a variety of different hands-on methods, including:
- Spinal and joint osteopathic manipulation treatment
- Soft tissue massage techniques
- Articulation – gentle rhythmic joint movements
- Stretching muscles and joint capsules
- Muscle energy techniques – encouraging muscles to work against resistance
- Visceral manipulation – gentle movement of the abdominal and pelvic areas
- Sacro-occipital techniques - to help increase the flow of cerebral-spinal fluid as it baths the brain and spinal cord
Osteopathy For Injury Prevention
It is important to find a local osteopath that is specially trained. One that is able to offer advice on injury prevention, pain management and rehabilitation programs. Our Osteopaths have trained in pelvic assessment and treatment, sports, acute and chronic injury management and pre/post pregnancy. Osteopaths do more than spinal adjustments and use techniques appropriate for all ages and for those patients that do not or should not have spinal adjustments..
We need to consider techniques that encourage you to take responsibility for your own long-term health and wellbeing. All while taking into account your lifestyle and environmental factors that may be contributing to your condition.
An osteopath can help you by working out a range of treatments. This may include individual exercise routines, relaxation techniques or body awareness sessions that show you how to move in gentler ways.
