Exeter Osteopaths

Our Spinal Clinic

Here at Exeter Osteopaths we tend to look at the cause of your symptoms rather than just treating your symptoms.

You may or may not suffer from the following conditions above. We may find that most of the symptoms come from the spine itself (even though you may or may not be in discomfort in this area). We always look at the where the muscles start and finishes, it’s nerve supply (spine) and blood supply to check that nothing is ruled out. We also do a full neurological examination if necessary.

How do we treat the spine?

Either cranial Osteopathy (click onto link above) or structural/traditional Osteopathy.

Traditional Osteopathy uses a combination of techniques to release the spinal joints, soft tissue stretching/gapping/traction of joints and adjustments to the spine.

All these techniques are safe and done by a highly trained, experienced practitioner. All the above techniques are aimed at improving the function of the spine, increasing soft tissue quality and most importantly increasing range of movement and decreasing pain.
