YOUR OSTEOPATHIC CONSULTATION
Whilst every Osteopathic consultation is uniquely tailored to the individual patient, each will follow a similar format. The details of this format are shown below.CASE HISTORY
Many people make their Osteopath the first port of call when suffering from pain and dysfunction. As the result of this, it is important for your Osteopath to gain as much information about your presenting complaint as they feel is necessary to formulate an accurate diagnosis. In many cases, your past medical history, medication history and general health issues may also be discussed during this detailed process.
EXAMINATION
In order to confirm a potential diagnosis, it is important to carry out a thorough examination procedure. Due to Osteopathy's unique perspective, this examination may include areas of the body that initially appear quite remote from the symptomatic region, for instance the ankle and the low back. Osteopaths are trained to use a wide variety of both orthodox and osteopathic examination techniques to aid their diagnosis.
