Osteopathy, a holistic approach to healthcare, can offer significant relief and support for individuals experiencing pain from arthritis. At Avin Patel’s practice, the focus is on understanding how the body’s interconnected systems – muscles, joints, ligaments, and nerves – are contributing to your specific arthritic pain.

Rather than solely focusing on the painful joint, Avin Patel will take a comprehensive view, assessing your posture, movement patterns, and overall musculoskeletal health. This thorough evaluation helps to identify any imbalances or restrictions in other areas of the body that might be exacerbating the stress on the arthritic joint.

Through gentle and skilled hands-on techniques, Avin Patel can help to:

  • Improve joint mobility:

    Arthritis often leads to stiffness and reduced range of motion. Osteopathic treatment can involve gentle articulation and mobilization techniques to help restore movement in the affected joints, making everyday activities easier.

  • Reduce muscle tension:

    Pain from arthritis can cause surrounding muscles to tighten up as a protective mechanism. Avin Patel can use massage, stretching, and other soft tissue techniques to release this tension, which can alleviate pressure on the joint and reduce pain.

  • Enhance circulation:

    Improved blood flow can help to nourish the tissues around the arthritic joint and aid in the removal of inflammatory byproducts, potentially reducing pain and stiffness.

  • Address compensatory issues:

    When one joint is painful, you might unknowingly change the way you move, putting extra strain on other parts of your body. Avin Patel can identify and address these compensatory patterns to prevent secondary pain issues from developing.

  • Provide tailored advice and exercise:

    Avin Patel can offer guidance on posture, movement strategies, and gentle exercises that you can do at home to help manage your pain and maintain mobility in the long term. This empowers you to take an active role in your well-being.

By taking this whole-body approach, Avin Patel aims to not just treat the symptoms of arthritis but also to address the underlying mechanical factors that may be contributing to your pain and functional limitations. This can lead to improved comfort, increased mobility, and a better quality of life for those living with arthritis.

Remember, the specific osteopathic treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and the type and location of your arthritis. Consulting with Avin Patel for a thorough assessment is the first step towards finding personalised relief.

Testimonials

I went for my first session with Avin last week. I was feeling very despondant as have had many treatments for my pain with little results. After one session I was able to move a lot easier and am looking forward to my next one. Any one suffering with sciatica or artheritis would benefit from booking an appointment. Excellent service, and restoration of hopes for a more active participation in my family life.

Joanne

My shoulder was in such a state I was convinced it would need surgery but thanks to Avin’s treatment it is now stronger than ever! Great service.

Andy

I contacted Avin Monday morning as my back had gone into a spasm and was in absolute agony could of cried with the pain, he saw me Monday afternoon at his house and did acupuncture and massage on it, afterwards the relief was wonderful he had relieved the spasm, my back still hurt but no where near as bad, he saw me again the next day (which was his day off) and did the same treatment again, and again felt better afterwards.
I would definitely recommend Avin, and will be keeping him on speed dial !!!
