Is osteopathic treatment safe?

There’s no such thing as medical treatment that is guaranteed 100% safe; even the paracetamol and ibuprofen we commonly use for headaches may cause severe side effects in some people.

Osteopathy however, has one of the best safety records of any medically-related profession. As primary care practitioners, Osteopaths are trained to carry out standard medical examinations of the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems to identify any condition that might make Osteopathic treatment inadvisable and to recognise conditions which require medical referral.

Just as your GP regards safety as the number one factor in selecting your medications, our Osteopaths will select treatment styles & techniques with your safety as their prime consideration.
