Welcome to Mark Camiss Osteopath
If you have any questions about Osteopathy or wish to make an appointment then feel free to contact me via one of the many clinics I have around the Lincolnshire area.
Osteopathy was the first of the complimentary healthcare professions to gain statutory recognition with the Osteopathy Act of 1993. The General Osteopathic Council regulates the profession along similar lines to the General Medical Council.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy recognises the importance of the link between the structure of the human body and the way it functions. Osteopaths focus on the body’s skeleton and joint function along with the underlying muscles, soft tissue and internal organs. Osteopaths consider each person as an individual. Utilising a highly developed sense of touch, they identify problem areas of the body. Using gentle stretching and mobilising techniques as well as manipulating joints, an osteopath works with the body to create the perfect conditions to facilitate the healing process.
Treatment usually consists of a combination of soft-tissue releasing techniques, and some specific adjustments affecting joints and soft-tissues (muscles, tendons and ligaments). A wide variety of conditions can thus find relief through osteopathy. It also benefits those wishing to enhance their performance and function at their optimum.
Advice is also given on rehabilitation exercise and nutritional guidance.
During your visit
The first visit to the osteopath will include a detailed case history to find out about the complaint which is troubling you. A general medical history is taken. After completing the history, you will receive an examination.. You may be asked to undertake a series of straightforward movements to help the osteopath find out which ones are causing discomfort or are causing restriction. Standard physical tests may also be undertaken, for example, joint reflexes and muscle strength testing.
Once an initial assessment is made, your problem will be discussed with you and if osteopathy would be of benefit in treating your condition, you will be informed of what is recommended in the way of treatment and management. Osteopathic treatment will then begin, incorporating a wide range of manipulation techniques.
