Health Osteopathy a clinic which specialises in treating musculoskeletal
conditions, has recently opened in Merivale, Christchurch. Lorraine Herity, Clinic Director moved to
Christchurch over two years ago, having previously worked in osteopathic
clinics in London and Ireland, and is delighted to now open Better Health
Osteopathy in Christchurch.
“Osteopaths
treat much more than back pain” explains Lorraine. “On a regular day, I typically treat patients
with a wide variety of ailments; back pain, neck pain, headaches, dizziness,
sports injuries, breathing difficulties and much more”. Osteopathy is hands-on
treatment where we focus on restoring movement in the body and easing aches and
pains.
“We see
many people where pain is having a massive impact on their everyday activities,
be it the pregnant women who is struggling to walk with back pain, the painter
who is in constant pain at work, or children with aches and pains”. In our
clinic, our aim is to deliver an accurate diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation
and self-care advice for patients at home. We always aim to treat the root cause
of pain, not just the symptoms, in order to return our patients back to everyday
health, in as quick a time as possible.
During
treatment we utilise a variety of gentle and safe osteopathic treatment
techniques, which could include mobilisation and manipulation to joints and
soft tissues, massage, and muscle stretches. Treatment techniques are tailored
to the individual and are suitable for people of all ages from children to the
elderly.
“I feel
very honoured to have worked with such a variety of patients in Christchurch
over the last two years. I have seen many patients work so hard to recover from
their pain and injuries, and there is something genuinely unique about kiwi
determination, which I have never quite seen in other countries” explains
Lorraine.
