Oteopathic Examination.
On your first visit, a full case history is taken, in which the presenting complaint(s) and past injuries are discussed and recorded. A detailed medical history is also taken including important information about your lifestyle and diet.
An examination is then carried out in which the overall posture is observed and active and passive movements are performed, so that biomechanical assessments can be made. You may be required to remove certain items of clothing to allow for examination and treatment. Blood pressure, neurological testing (e.g. Reflexes) or other additional tests may also be carried out where indicated. With their hands osteopaths identify abnormalities within the human structure and function.
Following the examination, the osteopath will discuss the findings of the examination with you. If osteopathy is an appropriate form of treatment, the osteopath will explain the nature of the treatment and the amount of sessions required to treat the diagnosed condition. If the osteopath feels that further information is required she may request further investigations to be carried out with the co-operation of your G.P.
