What We Do
At North Beds Osteopaths we help people live the life they want to lead, doing the things they want to do through effective osteopathic treatment.
Generally as we all get older, we notice more aches and pains. It's only when these aches and pains stop us doing something we enjoy, such as gardening, walking the dog, taking part in sport, playing with the children or grandchildren, or means we have to take time off work, that we do something about it.
At North Beds Osteopaths many of our patients see us before they experience pain or major problems. We believe that using osteopathy can help promote good spinal health which may help to prevent many problems occurring in the first place so providing a more cost–effective form of treatment in the long run.
After all, you go to the dentist for regular check–ups whether you have toothache or not. We believe that same approach could apply to osteopaths and your spine, neck, joints and muscles.
Back and Neck Pain

Osteopaths are best known for effective treatment of back and neck pain. Over two thirds of people in the UK suffer from either back or neck pain at some time and back pain is the single biggest cause for time off work. Back pain is the most common reason for people to visit North Beds Osteopaths.
Back and neck pain can be very debilitating and can affect your work and family life. Many of the people we have helped have been told to "live with it", "back pain is normal" or "it's just your age and there's nothing you can do". Usually there is a great deal we can do to help and improve your quality of life. It doesn't matter whether you have a new problem or a problem you have had for years – come and see us and see if we can help you.
Remember that you don't have to wait for pain to consult us. We recommend spinal check–ups for all ages which may help keep your spine healthy and working well. Think of it like seeing your dentist for a check–up rather than waiting for tooth decay and toothache.
We consider aspects of your lifestyle, posture and medical history to find the cause of the problem. In this way we can fix the problem and give you advice and treatment to prevent it from coming back. Regular check–ups are often advised as a way of helping to keep you and your spine flexible and healthy in the long term.

Many occupations can take their toll on your body, not just those that involve heavy manual labour. Poor posture, repetitive actions or hours spent in one position can cause strain. This can be made worse if you feel stressed.
It is important that we keep our bodies working properly to allow us to be comfortable and productive at work and to avoid time off sick.
Jobs that can particularly cause problems include office work, manual work, driving, teaching, hairdressing, and many more.
Osteopathic treatment may speed up your recovery to get you back to work more quickly. We can help to relieve the accumulation of daily stress and strain from work, which may help prevent problems from building up to the point of pain.
Sports injuries

If you have a sports injury or even just a niggling pain or stiffness, it is a good idea to get it checked as soon as possible. Osteopathic treatment may help get you active again more quickly.
Training with an injury or imbalance in the body will force your body to compensate leading to other problems elsewhere. This can mean it takes longer to get better.
As well as visiting us for help with injuries, many people find that osteopathic treatment helps to keep them flexible and strain–free ensuring not just more enjoyment but also better sporting performance.
Investing in your body with osteopathic care means that you can get on and enjoy an active lifestyle.
