What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is an established system of diagnosis and treatment that recognises the role of the musculoskeletal system in the healthy functioning of the body. The musculoskeletal system is a key element in maintaining health. This system makes up two-thirds of the body's mass. It impacts and reflects the condition of all other systems in the body. Osteopathic theory involves the concept that structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) are inter-related. If the structure of a joint is distorted in any way, this will affect the normal mechanics of the joint resulting in dysfunction, which patients often feel as pain and stiffness.

Sciatica and Trapped Nerves
Sciatica is a pain which runs along the sciatic nerve, which starts at the lower back and passes to the back of the leg; the sciatic nerve is quite easily irritated resulting in pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Degenerative Disc Disease is one of the most common causes of low back pain. The discs are fibrous shock absorbers between the bones (vertebrae) of the back.
