OUR SERVICES:

At Essence Osteopathy, we take a whole person approach to osteopathy, treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms as such we offer a variety of osteopathic techniques which are case and person specific, and are the most appropriate techniques at that time for that person. 

We have the ability to use many osteopathic techniques including articulatory techniques, soft tissue techniques, balanced ligamentous tension techniques, craniosacral osteopathy, muscle energy techniques, visceral and spinal manipulation to name just a few. 

For certain conditions we have the facilities to use Shockwave therapy, also known as extracorporeal shockwave therapy.  This is a very useful form of treatment that is administered to a tendon or muscle through the skin with a handheld device. Shockwave treatment is particularly effective for stubborn tissues that usually take a long time to heal or sometimes tissues that just won't heal on their own.  Shockwave treatment offers a noninvasive treatment that might help the soft tissues regenerate and heal. It is particularly beneficial to stubborn cases of tennis or golfers' elbow, achilles tendonitis, hamstring strain and plantar fasciitis. Often a patient has tried more conservative treatments prior to trying shockwave treatment, therefore the practitioner may try 1 to 2 sessions first to see if it is beneficial to continue with shockwave treatment for that particular condition.

 Our goal at Essence Osteopathy is to provide our patients with the tools they need to achieve optimal, pain free health, through osteopathic care.

 We believe in the body's ability to heal itself and work with our patients to create personalized treatment plans that promote optimal osteopathic healthcare and aid our patients in achieving their goals.
