Osteopaths are primary health care practitioners who have been taught in wide range of medical sciences and are Government-registered with the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand (OCNZ).

All these osteopaths are ACC-registered and can put you on ACC so you don't need a referral. Osteopaths treat a wide range of muscular skeletal and body aches and pains, poor functioning of the body and most things, from headaches to a strained little toe.

Pain can be something you feel you have to just live with. But keep ignoring it and it may become ongoing (chronic).

You may not function properly and may experience pain at the site of injury, or ‘referred' pain in an area away from the injured site. Other problems may include muscle spasm and tension which can reduce the range of motion of your neck, leg, arm or back

This can all happen over a period of time and you may not notice it until you have difficulty putting on your shoes, gardening, driving, sitting or other simple tasks that we all take for granted.

These tasks can cause unnecessary pain or discomfort, but the pain can often be eased with osteopathic treatment, leading to a more 'normal” and active life.

The sooner the problem can be addressed, the shorter and more efficient the treatment will be.
