Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment that focuses on the musculoskeletal system – your body’s framework of bones, muscles and joints. By improving the alignment and mobility of these structures, osteopaths aim to relieve pain, improve function and support the body’s overall health.
Our osteopaths use a variety of techniques, including joint manipulation, stretching and soft tissue massage, to target areas of tension, improve circulation and promote healing.
Osteopathy is suitable for treating a wide range of conditions including:
​
-
Back and neck pain
-
Joint pain and arthritis
-
Headaches and migraines
-
Sports injuries
-
Postural problems
We also offer cranial osteopathy, a gentler form of treatment that is particularly effective for stress relief, trauma recovery and conditions such as colic in babies.
We treat a wide range of sports-related conditions, such as:​
​
-
Muscle strains and sprains
-
Tendon and ligament injuries
-
Repetitive strain injuries
-
Post-injury rehabilitation
​
​Our approach combines manual therapy, rehabilitation exercises and injury prevention strategies to help you get back to your sport safely and quickly. We work closely with you to design an effective recovery plan tailored to your specific goals and activity level.
Sports Therapy
Our sports therapy services are designed to help athletes and active individuals recover from injuries, enhance performance and prevent future issues. Whether you are a professional athlete or someone who enjoys regular physical activity, sports therapy can provide significant benefits by addressing the underlying causes of pain and mobility issues.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that has been used for centuries to promote healing and balance within the body. By inserting fine needles into specific points along the body’s energy pathways (meridians), acupuncture helps to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, reduce pain and improve overall well-being.
Acupuncture is commonly used to treat:​
​
-
Chronic pain, including back, neck and joint pain
-
Migraines and headaches
-
Stress and anxiety
-
Digestive issues
-
Sports injuries
​
At Sherwood Osteopathic Clinic, acupuncture is often used in conjunction with osteopathic treatments to enhance results and provide a comprehensive approach to care.
Our functional medicine services are particularly helpful for patients dealing with:
​
-
Chronic fatigue
-
Autoimmune disorders
-
Digestive issues
-
Hormonal imbalances
-
Stress-related conditions
​
By conducting a thorough assessment of your health history and lifestyle, we develop a personalised treatment plan that may include nutrition advice, lifestyle changes and targeted therapies to restore balance and improve your overall health.
Functional Medicine
Functional medicine takes a holistic, patient-centred approach to health, focusing on identifying and addressing the root causes of chronic conditions. Rather than simply treating symptoms, functional medicine seeks to understand the complex interactions between genetics, lifestyle and environmental factors that contribute to health and disease.
Electrotherapy
Electrotherapy involves the use of electrical currents to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes, reduce pain, and improve circulation.
​At Sherwood Osteopathic Clinic, we offer advanced electrotherapy treatments, including:
​
-
Interferential Therapy: Used to reduce inflammation and pain, particularly in conditions like back pain, arthritis and sports injuries.

​
-
Chronic pain
-
Stress and tension relief
-
Muscle recovery and rehabilitation
-
Improving flexibility and mobility
Therapeutic Massage
Therapeutic massage is an integral part of many treatment plans at Sherwood Osteopathic Clinic. It helps to relax muscles, improve circulation and reduce tension, which can relieve pain and support the body’s recovery process. Our experienced therapists use a range of massage techniques to complement osteopathic treatment, ensuring a holistic approach to your health and well-being.
