✨Surgery can be an important and necessary option in some cases, particularly after significant trauma, advanced joint degeneration, or inflammatory conditions.
However, it’s also important to understand that there are often different options to explore, depending on the individual and the nature of the problem.
👉As with any surgical procedure, joint and spinal surgery carries potential risks, which is why informed decision-making is key. Taking time to fully understand the benefits, risks and alternatives can help you feel more confident about the path you choose.
❤️In many situations, the body has a natural capacity to heal when given the right support, guidance and rehabilitation, unless there has been significant tissue damage.
Osteopathic treatment is tailored to the individual and may help to:
👉 Reduce pain and discomfort
👉 Support tissue healing
👉 Improve movement and function
👉Aid recovery and rehabilitation
🤲Hands-on treatment, combined with appropriate advice and exercises, can help support strength, mobility and long-term joint health.
✨Your osteopath will assess you thoroughly and offer guidance on the most appropriate course of action for your body, which is not always surgical.
