What do Osteopaths treat?

There's a common misconception that Osteopaths only fix bones that are out of place. This misconception came about because Osteopaths have a good reputation and a high success rate in treating bad backs. The reality is, osteopathic principles are much deeper and broader than this and can be applied to any condition.

Practitioners at the Littlejohn Centre have helped individuals with a wide variety of conditions, illnesses and disorders. These include everyday irritations from colds and allergies, backache and sports injuries, to serious illnesses like cancer, heart conditions, ulcers, emphysema, muscle and bone disorders and conditions like epilepsy, autism and depression.

Many people find the Littlejohn Centre is an ideal first port of call because practitioners use osteopathic principles to focus on the overall person. In doing so, if a practitioner believes a situation requires surgical or medical intervention, he or she will always refer you on to the appropriate specialisation.
