As part of \u201cOsteopathy Awareness Week\u201d (April) 14-20), Torquay osteopathy clinic Sequence Osteopathy is encouraging residents to find out more about how the alternative medicine may be able to help those dealing with muscle discomfort.<\/p>\n
Osteopaths \u2013 who can be accessed without referral \u2013 focus on how your skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves and circulation work together to improve your health and well-being.<\/p>\n
According to Sequence Osteopathy, osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest growing health professions in Australia.<\/p>\n
Clinic founder Doctor Rebecca Burns says although the profession is growing, there\u2019s still a level of misunderstanding about the work of osteopaths among the public and other health practitioners.<\/p>\n
\u201cOsteopathy isn\u2019t just about bones and musculoskeletal pain \u2013 osteopaths treat more than you think,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
Dr Burns commonly treats patients with back and neck pain, sports injuries, headaches, whiplash, postural problems, sciatica, knee and heel pain, shin splints, arthritic pain and occupational injuries.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe also encourage individuals to proactively prevent injuries and ailments, which in the long term leads to better overall health,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
