Question 1

Do I need to stop my medical treatment if I start osteopathy?

Accepted Answer

No. Osteopathy is a complementary therapy and should always work alongside medical care, not replace it. Continue all prescribed medications and follow-ups with your doctor.

Question 2

Can osteopathy treat PCOD / PCOS?

Accepted Answer

Osteopathy does treat PCOD/PCOS, which is a medical and hormonal condition. However, osteopathic treatment can support women with PCOD/PCOS by helping relieve associated symptoms such as pelvic discomfort, lower back pain, digestive tension, postural strain, and stress-related muscle tightness. Osteopathy works alongside medical care to improve overall physical comfort and wellbeing.

Question 3

How can osteopathy help women with thyroid conditions?

Accepted Answer

Osteopathy does treat thyroid disease but complements with medical management. It can, however, support women with thyroid conditions by addressing common physical complaints such as neck and shoulder tension, headaches, fatigue-related stiffness, poor posture, and breathing restrictions. Gentle techniques help improve mobility, circulation, and relaxation while you continue medical care with your doctor.

Question 4

Can osteopathy help with ovarian cysts?

Accepted Answer

Osteopathy does help with treatment of ovarian cysts. Osteopathic care focuses on supporting the body around the pelvis and abdomen, helping to reduce muscular tension, lower back pain, pelvic discomfort, and postural strain that may accompany cyst-related symptoms. Treatment is always gentle and adapted to your comfort.

Question 6

Will osteopathy affect my medications or medical treatment?
