Symptoms
How can Osteopathy Beckers help you?
The power of osteopathy lies in treating not just the area of pain, but finding the root cause of the blockage. Whether it is a sports injury, a chronic ailment, or growing pains in your child; we look at the whole picture.
Below is an overview of the complaints we frequently treat
Sports Injuries & Extremity Complaints
An injury to the knee or ankle rarely stands alone. Often, reduced mobility in the hip or back is the underlying reason a joint becomes overloaded.
- Legs: Knee complaints (including meniscus, collateral ligaments), hamstring injuries, calf complaints, and thigh injuries.
- Feet: Ankle instability and plantar fasciitis.
- Arms & Hands: Shoulder complaints, tennis/golfer’s elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome.
- Groin & Hip: Hip and groin injuries.
- General: Joint blockages, mobility issues, and piriformis syndrome.
In addition to the musculoskeletal system, we treat complaints deeper within the body:
- Digestion: Gastric/esophageal complaints (including reflux, heartburn, belching), bowel complaints (IBS, constipation, diarrhea, allergies/intolerances), and nausea.
- Respiration: Breathing/exercise problems (including (exercise) asthma, post-COVID, excessive talking/singing), and loss of smell/taste.
- Head & Senses: Headaches (migraine, tension headaches), dizziness, concentration problems, sinusitis, tinnitus, dry eyes/mouth, jaw complaints (clicking, locking), facial pain, and swallowing difficulties.
- Women’s Health: Menstrual problems, pelvic instability, tailbone pain, bladder issues, (stress) incontinence, and postnatal complaints.
- General: Chronic fatigue, stress, and postural issues (such as scoliosis and hernia with radiating pain).
Internal & Functional Complaints
Children & Growth
Children are constantly developing, which brings specific challenges.
- Growing Pains: General growing pains in children.
- Osgood-Schlatter: Specific knee complaints during growth spurts.
- Babies: Preferred postures (torticollis) in infants.
Recovery from Trauma & Accidents
The body often stores the impact of a blow or fall within the tissue.
- Head Trauma: Head complaints following trauma (including concussions, broken nose, bruising, collisions).
- Back & Neck: Acute pain, neck and back complaints, often following a fall or whiplash.
- Scars: Persistent complaints following surgery due to scar tissue.
