Can osteopathy help with chronic pain?

[Gandalf2]

Hello fellow Enkers, some years ago when I first damaged my vertebrae lifting a stone sink I was whisked to hospital by ambulance and diagnosed with compression fractures and osteoporosis. It took about a month to heal the fractures.

I was prescribed pain relief and felt after some time that there must be an alternative. Almost by chance I consulted a local private osteopath who helped to realign my spine and ease my muscles. It seemed to solve the pain problem and I attended once a month afterwards gaining skeletal health and improved posture in the process.

Here's a link to an advice site that will help you decide if osteopathy can assist you.

As always, all the best and happy vibes, G2

Manual therapies, including OMT, Rolfing, Somatic Experiencing, and cranial-sacral massage, have helped me a lot, but I need a session at least weekly, and each session is expensive, so it is hard to justify when one doesn’t have an income… I do need to find more practitioners in our new city, especially those without COVID restrictions like masks. Overall, I also recommend manual therapy for fellow Enkers.
