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.

Some of the common symptoms of arthritis which respond well to osteopathy include:

low back pain
hip pain
