The How Osteopathic Clinic

Osteopathy and Arthritis at the How Osteopathic Clinic Edinburgh

Osteopathic treatment can do much to reduce the pain and discomfort caused by osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The form of treatment may vary depending upon the individual, type of arthritis and level of discomfort suffered. Generally however gentle manipulative techniques are used to reduce pain and inflammation, improve mobility and ease swelling.

Osteopathy and Inflammatory Arthritis

Osteoarthritis is the most common form of arthritis and is caused by “wear and tear” on joints as a result of strains put on an area through poor posture, manual work and previous injuries.

Rheumatoid Arthritis

Rheumatoid or Inflammatory Arthritis is an auto-immune disease which creates stiff and swollen joints, causing extreme pain and lack of mobility.

While there is no cure for Rheumatoid Arthritis, osteopathic treatment may be a useful way of relieving musculo-skeletal symptoms and joint discomfort, managing pain and restoring a measure of flexibility.

In addition to Osteopathic treatment, Osteopath Helen How also teaches pain management techniques, which may benefit sufferers of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
