Osteopathy is a field of medicine that focuses on the musculoskeletal system –the bones, joints, muscles and nerves, as well as other connective tissue and internal organs.
Osteopaths consider the body as a whole and understand the vital links between different structures and their functions when providing personalised, hands-on care to help relieve pain, restore movement and improve overall health and quality of life.
Osteopaths in Australia are registered health practitioners who must have completed a minimum of five years of university training. Our Perth Osteopaths follow a scientific approach while also appreciating the benefits of alternative medicine for helping to restore balance so the body can heal itself.
Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that may incorporate a range of non-invasive treatments and management techniques.
Working alongside general doctors and other allied health professionals, our experienced Osteopaths at HealthState will design a tailored treatment plan based on your individual needs. This may involve:
If you are particularly sensitive and would prefer to avoid hands-on therapy, we can discuss other options, such as Cranial-Sacral Biodynamic Treatment. This is a non-manipulative technique that can help patients to feel calm, refreshed and relaxed.
Besides providing treatments, we also place a strong emphasis on education and can give you advice and tips about how to manage your body to help your recovery, improve your overall health or lower your risks.
You can directly book a consultation with a local Osteopath without referral or you may be referred by your doctor or another health professional if you have a problem related to the musculoskeletal system. This can include a range of acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) conditions such as:
Other signs that may relate to an osteopathic condition include:
Osteopathic treatment can also benefit children who may be experiencing similar issues or have growth concerns.
Our team will give you a warm welcome and help you feel at ease when you visit our osteopathic practices in Perth. Your initial appointment should take around 30 minutes, with subsequent appointments lasting around 25 minutes.
On your first appointment, your Osteopath will discuss your symptoms and examine your case history, including any reports or test results from other health practitioners. We may also need to conduct some tests and will give you a comprehensive Osteopathic assessment.
We will explain what each stage of therapy involves so you know what to expect, and we're always happy to answer your questions. We will aim to make you as comfortable as possible, but in some treatments, too painful or tender areas, may cause mild soreness for one or two days afterwards.
Osteopathy is considered a safe field of medicine that uses non-invasive therapies. Osteopaths are also bound by strict guidelines of the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) for protecting patients and their peace of mind.
However, there is always a possibility of risks or side effects for any treatment, which is why our Osteopaths ensure you understand what your treatment will involve so you can make fully informed decisions about your health.
The most common side effect of Osteopathic treatment is mild soreness. This can feel like the discomfort after exercise and should only last up to two days. If it lasts for longer, or you experience other unexpected symptoms, contact our team.
Osteopathy costs are covered by most private health funds in Australia, depending on your level of cover. Check with your insurance provider or our staff to determine whether you are eligible to make a claim.
Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for other rebates, including:
No. A referral from another health professional is not necessary. You can contact us directly to make an appointment to see an Osteopath in our four local Perth locations.
