I've just put my back out. Can I see an osteopath today?

Often, yes. Avin offers emergency same-day or next-day appointments for sudden back, neck and joint pain across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. Call or WhatsApp 07739 828 664 and he will do his best to see you as soon as possible, either at a clinic or at home.

Is acupuncture relaxing?

Many people find acupuncture relaxing and say they feel calm afterwards. You will be lying comfortably whilst the needles are in place, usually for a short time.

Can I have acupuncture and osteopathy in the same appointment?

Yes. Avin often uses medical acupuncture as part of an osteopathy appointment. The cost is the same: £75 for an initial appointment and £60 for a follow-up.

What pregnancy aches can an osteopath help with?

Osteopathy may help relieve the back pain, hip and pelvic aches, sciatica, rib discomfort and general muscle tension that often come with pregnancy as your body changes shape and your posture shifts.

Can I see an osteopath while I'm pregnant?

Yes. Many women see an osteopath during pregnancy. Avin uses gentle techniques adapted for pregnancy and will ask about your health and how your pregnancy is going first. It is a good idea to let your midwife know you are having osteopathy.

Do you treat repetitive strain injuries like tennis elbow?

Osteopathy may help with repetitive strain aches, including tennis elbow and golfer's elbow, particularly where the neck, shoulder or upper back are playing a part. Avin will treat the affected area and assess your wider shoulder and neck mechanics to help your arm move more comfortably.

Can you help stop my injury coming back?

Avin will look at why the injury happened in the first place, such as muscle imbalances, stiffness, footwear or technique. He will give you exercises and advice to help reduce the chance of it happening again.

How soon after an injury should I book?

You can book as soon as you feel you need help. Emergency appointments are available for sudden injuries. If you think you may have broken a bone, cannot put weight on the injured leg or have a lot of swelling, go to a minor injuries unit or A&E first.

Will I have to stop training while I'm injured?

Not always. Avin will advise you on what you can safely keep doing, what to change and what to avoid for now, so you can stay as active as possible whilst your injury settles.

I'm not a serious athlete. Is a sports osteopath still for me?

Yes. You do not need to be an athlete to get a sports injury. Avin treats people of all activity levels, from runners, walkers and gym-goers to weekend footballers and golfers, and can help you get back to the things you enjoy.
