You do not need to consult your GP before you visit an osteopath for a consultation
We are members of The Institute of Osteopathy (iO)
Over 96% of osteopathic patients have expressed confidence in their osteopath's advice and treatment
50.4% of patients who visited an osteopath had been experiencing symptoms for 13 weeks or more and over 60% of these symptoms were seen within three days
To make a diagnosis and treatment, it is usual for the osteopath to ask you to remove clothing from the area being examined and treated
Osteopaths are happy for you to be accompanied by another adult during all or part of your treatment if it makes you feel more comfortable
We also offer acupuncture as part of our wide range of chiropody and podiatry services. Our osteopath and podiatry treatments are available in Durham, Washington, Sunderland, Gateshead and Newcastle.
