Many people suffer from problems such as arthritis as they grow older and although with conditions such as this a complete cure is not possible, osteopathy can make a huge difference and greatly enhance quality of life. Osteopathic care ensures that you understand your condition and are aware of any factors that may serve to aggravate it.

Whether your work entails heavy lifting, long periods of sustained posture such as driving or sitting at a desk, or repeatedly performing the same actions, the outcome is fatigue and ultimately discomfort in muscles and joints. Not forgetting that housework and looking after children can be just as wearing. Whatever your occupation,we will help alleviate the fatiguing and painful effects on your body.

The Buxton Osteopathy Clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9.00am to 6.30pm and Saturday 9.00am to 3.30pm. We can also arrange visits at your home,workplace or anywhere else to suit your requirements, including appointments for evenings and weekends.
