OSTEOPATHS

[unitynotsocri...]

Have anyone used an osteopath after a bike accident?If so what do they think of them.Are they worth £40 a pop?

Not after a bike accident, but have visited one for a variety of sporting injuries - notably a torn hamstring and dislocated ribs.
Well worth the money IMHO.

Unqualified dangerous quacks IMHO.

Mixed them up with chiropractors, they are dangerous IMHO. Met one in a pub, told me he could cure my limp by manipulating my knee. My knee is fine, my hip has no cartilage left in it and is bone on bone. No amount of pulling will mend that.

Yes I have, mine was a Mctimony Osteo, and as well the usual stuff he also gave me ultra sound across my lower back muscles and used a TENS machine on my dents in my leg, which actually 'eventually' popped out a little, so they were less obvious.

I rated the treatment, but it was expensive.

Have since had both Chiro treatment and a full body Swedish massage and prefer the massage tbh. Plus it's miles cheaper at £28 and is an all-body treatment, and I don't leave feeling like I've been in a punch up.

I have restarted my osteopath treatment after a nasty t bone accident last year.
I'm a complete cynic and thought that osteopaths belong in the bin with the crystal healers and the spiritualists and the middle class hippies but have had to eat my hat.

Last week I woke up with a stiffy after having no sensations like that for over 15 months.I go to the osteopaths once a week and each time can clearly feel my spine and neck straightening out although its painfull for a few days after.Whats remarkable is that my anxiety from autisim is greatly reduced as well ,as a side effect of the spinal treatment.

I asked the osteopath 'whats the difference between osteo's and chiropractors'.He explained that chiropractice started out when a rebellious student of Osteopathy left the 'school' in the early days (late 1800's) and set up shop with his own franchise.Chiropractors have less conventional medical training.

Freinds say that osteopaths have longer training and study the full body,skeleton,nerves,muscles,glands wheras chiropractors just stick with bones and muscles.

The nhs just want to give me strong painkillers!

Thanks for your replies,
The osteopath has worked wonders fro me.I have had serious constant pain for over a year so I certainly know my recent improvement is'nt the 'placebo effect'.The nhs in my circumstances are abysmal and I certainly advise anyone with serious spinal/bone injuries to see one.Looking back to the 2 months after my accident last year in march i realise that while i was waiting in the que for an nhs physio ,if I had'nt have gone to the osteopath while waiting for the nhs I would have been a lot more crippled than I am at the mo.

The physio(what little I had)was simplistic as I had'nt seen the consultant.The osteopath has sorted my scareum,the bit that goes into my hips,got rid of the burning horizontal pain across my left shoulder,lower my right shoulder to be nearly level,got rid of the lower back vertebre that stings and aches,made my spine staighter,got my head to sit leveler on my neck,stopped my lower jaw hanging slighly open to my right,nearly straightened my c1 to c5 ,or neck as we commonly call it,got rid of the constant rear left headache,returned most of sense of feeling to my left arm and leg and ,this is the biggy for me although others would consider it minor,helped my knob work again!

when i posted this topic i was after an objective response,so did'nt say what my experience was ,many thanks for your replies.

Its a mixed bag though,after over a year of bad sciatica in my left leg having everything staightend slowly has resulted in more pain and the sciatica has moved right over to my right side as the nerves(brachius) and the main leg nerves return to their origional position.On top of that its helped greatly with my anxiety casued by autisim,i hav'nt gobbed off at anyone for weeks!and my left ribs have stopped popping out of my spine.

at this rate it wont be long before i can do doggy with earth women again .....I'm amazed....but it will be probably next spring before I return to martial arts and breeding the master race.
In my experience the nhs are shit and should be privatised,although obviously if I'd had broken bones or needed blood I would readily suck up to the crisis managed employees,and have no choice about risking flesh eating disease.But then it was Rochdale nhs so I should expect little.
