Why see an osteopath over a chiropractor or physiotherapist?

It’s not up to us to define how other practitioners treat or how 'good' they are. The truth is we all treat many of  the same problems like back pain, headaches & migraines, we just treat them in slightly different ways.

What we can tell you is why you should see us at Lonsdale Osteopathy and it's simple really...

· At Lonsdale Osteopathy, our osteopaths are highly educated, having completed a minimum of 5 years full time at university.

· Our practitioners are experts in the field; lecturers with Victoria University and osteopaths and myotherapists to elite sporting teams including Essendon football club, Melbourne storm and the ACT Academy of Sport cycling team.

· We only treat one patient at a time, we won’t run between rooms, juggling 2 or 3 patients at a time so when you come in to Lonsdale Osteopathy, you know you’ll have our undivided attention.

· You won’t be in & out in 5 minutes…not even in 15! At Lonsdale Osteopathy we spend 40 minutes with every patient, every time. We take the time to listen to you, thoroughly assess the problem area (as well as any area that may be referring pain) and treat you for longer to ensure you don’t have to come back as often.

· We don’t just treat your muscles or your joints; we’ll selectively test the muscles, joints, nerves, ligaments and blood vessels in your problem area and then formulate an individual treatment plan to address all of the tissues involved so you get relief faster.
