Patients with chronic, longstanding problems may require management rather than complete resolution. In these instances patients will be given advice about exercise and self management and will also benefit from intermittent maintenance sessions with the Osteopath.

Q: How many sessions will I need?

Every patient is different. Two patients who appear to have the same condition may require different numbers of treatment to get better. General health, previous accidents, how long you’ve had the problem, work and lifestyle factors can all have a bearing on how quickly you will recover. Following the initial examination the Osteopath will discuss what they think is causing your problem, how Osteopathy can help and how many sessions it is likely to take. Sometimes, if the problem is more complex we may suggest an initial course of treatments i.e 3-4. They will then reassess progress and effectiveness of the treatment plan.

Q: Is the information I tell you private and confidential?

Yes. Any information disclosed to us is strictly private and confidential. If we feel the need to refer you to another healthcare professional this would be discussed this with you first. We would only make a referral with your consent. All your personal data is held in accordance with GDPR.

Q: Can I claim on my health insurance?

Many private health insurance policies provide cover for osteopathic treatment. It may be possible to claim for a course of treatment but you should check in advance with your insurance company before seeking osteopathic treatment, in order to confirm the available level of cover and whether you will need to have a referral from your GP or a specialist.
