Great Malvern Osteopath Treatments
At Great Malvern Osteopaths, we provide expert treatment for a wide range of conditions using Osteopathy, Cranial Osteopathy, and Ultrasound therapy. Osteopathy is a holistic treatment aimed at improving body function, relieving pain, and promoting natural healing. Our experienced osteopaths use a variety of techniques, such as deep-tissue massage, stretching, and gentle mobilisation, to treat issues such as back pain, joint problems, sports injuries, and more.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is a gentle and subtle form of osteopathic treatment that uses light techniques to encourage the release of stress throughout the body and restore normal function. It is suitable for people of all ages. A cranial osteopath is a fully qualified osteopath with additional post-graduate training in cranial therapy.
Sarah Davies, a registered cranial osteopath in Malvern with 25 years of experience treating babies, children, and adults of all ages.
For babies, complications during birth—such as a fast or slow delivery or the use of forceps—can cause stress and strain in the infant’s head and body. This can lead to issues like feeding difficulties, colic, and sleep disturbances. Cranial osteopathy uses gentle techniques to help release these stresses and restore comfort and balance to the baby’s body.
Children can also benefit from cranial osteopathy, especially after injuries like falls. Cranial osteopathy is often enjoyed by children, who may sit and play or lie down and listen to a story during the treatment. A cranial osteopath, with experience treating children of all ages, can help relieve stress and strain in the body.
For adults, cranial osteopathy is used to treat conditions such as head injuries, whiplash, jaw problems, arthritis, migraines, and tinnitus. Adults find cranial osteopathy to be deeply relaxing, and treatments can be combined with massage or other osteopathic techniques to enhance overall benefits.
If you are interested in cranial osteopathy, book an appointment with Sarah Davies today to experience the gentle, effective relief that cranial osteopathy can provide.

Ultrasound
Therapeutic ultrasound has been used by therapists for over 50 years to reduce pain, alleviate muscle spasms, promote the healing process, and shorten the recovery time for certain soft tissue injuries. Ultrasound therapy accelerates the normal resolution of the inflammatory phase of tissue healing and increases blood flow, which is particularly beneficial during the sub-acute phase of tissue injury.
The treatment works by generating ultrasonic waves from the treatment head of the ultrasound machine, which is gently moved over the surface of the skin in the injured area. The process is painless, and patients typically only feel the movement of the ultrasound head on their skin.
Ultrasound therapy can be highly effective in treating conditions such as ankle injuries, frozen shoulder, knee injuries, strains, sports injuries, disc problems, arthritis, and more. It complements osteopathic treatments and can significantly enhance the overall effectiveness of the therapy.

Acupuncture
Acupuncture, also known as dry needling, involves inserting very fine needles into muscles to improve function, reduce pain, relieve muscle tension, and promote tissue healing. This technique is particularly effective for managing a wide range of painful conditions.
When combined with osteopathic treatment, acupuncture can help address conditions such as disc problems, muscle spasms, sciatica, trigger points, arthritis, hip and knee issues, tennis elbow, and more. The combination of both treatments enhances recovery and provides relief from pain.
At our Malvern osteopathy clinic, Mrs. Sarah Davies is trained in western acupuncture/dry needling, offering safe and effective treatment. For more information about acupuncture or to receive advice on acupuncture treatment, please contact our practice.

Aches and Pains
Osteopathy is highly effective in alleviating various aches and pains throughout the body, depending on the underlying cause. Common causes of discomfort include muscle tension, muscle spasms, aching joints, and postural or alignment issues. Osteopaths use a range of techniques, such as massage, joint and spinal mobilisation, manipulation, gentle stretches, and ultrasound therapy, to help reduce or eliminate pain. By releasing restrictions and tension, osteopathy helps the body create a healthier environment for natural healing.
Both acute and chronic problems can be treated with osteopathy. For example, acute neck pain with muscle tension and headaches, or chronic low back pain and knee pain caused by arthritis, are just a few conditions that osteopathy can effectively address.
Osteopaths are highly trained healthcare professionals, and in the UK, they treat six million people every year suffering from various forms of pain. Osteopathic treatment provides relief, offers valuable advice, and helps prevent recurring issues while promoting overall health and well-being.

Back Pain
Backache or back pain is one of the most common health problems, affecting 8 out of 10 people at some point in their lives. Each year, 5 out of 10 working adults experience back pain, ranging from a dull, constant ache to sharp, sudden pain that can radiate into the arms or legs, causing numbness or tingling.
Back pain can develop gradually due to muscular tension or spasms, disc problems, arthritis, or injury. While many people turn to pain medication for relief, this often only masks the symptoms rather than addressing the underlying cause, leading to prolonged discomfort.
At our osteopathy practice in Malvern, we provide effective treatment for backache. Osteopathy is recognized by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) as an effective treatment for back pain. Our osteopaths will diagnose the root cause of your back problem and offer a personalised treatment plan. Using a combination of massage, mobilisation, manipulation, and exercise advice, we aim to resolve your back pain quickly and effectively.
Long-standing back issues also respond well to osteopathy. With tailored advice, exercises, and occasional preventative treatments, we can help you maintain a healthy spine and prevent future pain.

Sciatica
Sciatica is a common condition that causes pain, numbness, muscular weakness, tingling, and difficulty moving the leg. These symptoms, which often start in the lower back, pelvis, or thigh, can radiate down one or both legs. The pain from sciatica can be severe and is typically due to compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve or one of the five nerve roots that form it.
In most cases, sciatica pain is felt on one side of the body, but it can affect both sides. Osteopathy treatment can help relieve this pain by addressing the underlying cause, such as nerve compression or inflammation.
At Great Malvern Osteopathy practice, our experienced osteopaths will conduct a thorough examination to diagnose the cause of your sciatica. Treatment is then tailored to your specific condition, ensuring effective relief. Many patients with sciatica experience significant improvement and faster recovery with osteopathic care.

Slipped Disc
A slipped disc, also known as a herniated, bulging, or prolapsed disc, occurs when the spinal disc becomes damaged due to strain or pressure, eventually causing the disc to "slip." This often happens during activities like bending or lifting, such as picking up a newspaper or a toddler, when patients feel their back suddenly "give way."
A herniated disc can press on the spinal cord or a specific nerve, leading to symptoms such as pain, weakness, numbness, pins and needles, or altered sensations. While slipped discs typically occur in the lower back, any disc along the spine can rupture. When this happens in the lower back, it can cause pain in the pelvis or radiate into the legs, often accompanied by numbness or tingling.
At Great Malvern Osteopathic practice, our osteopaths are skilled in treating slipped discs. We work to relieve muscle tension, reduce spasms, and realign the spine to minimize pressure on the injured disc. Through personalized treatment, exercises, and expert advice, osteopathy plays a crucial role in recovery. Although healing may take time, our osteopaths will help you stabilise your condition and teach you how to protect and strengthen your back for long-term health.

Nerve Pain
Nerve pain, whether from a trapped, compressed, or inflamed nerve, can cause debilitating symptoms such as pins and needles, numbness, weakness, burning sensations, and altered feelings in affected areas. Nerve entrapment can occur anywhere in the body, but it is often felt along the spine, with referred pain radiating into the arms or legs. These symptoms can be accompanied by pins and needles, numbness, or other nerve-related sensations.
At our Malvern osteopathy practice, our osteopaths are skilled in diagnosing and treating nerve pain. Through specific testing, we identify which nerve is affected and at what level. Osteopathic treatment helps to release pressure on the nerve by realigning the spine, mobilising joints, and reducing muscle spasms that may compress or inflame the nerve. This approach restores balance to the spine and surrounding muscles, allowing the nerve to heal and the pain to subside.

Nerve Entrapment
Nerve entrapment, whether caused by a trapped, compressed, or inflamed nerve, can result in severe pain and symptoms such as pins and needles, numbness, weakness, burning sensations, and altered sensations. Nerves can become entrapped anywhere in the body, but the pain is often felt along the spine and may radiate to other areas such as the legs or arms. This referred pain is frequently accompanied by symptoms like pins and needles, numbness, and other nerve-related issues.
At our osteopathy clinic in Malvern, our experienced osteopaths use specific testing to accurately diagnose which nerve is affected and at what level. Through osteopathic treatment, we can relieve pressure on the nerve by aligning the spine, mobilising joints, and reducing muscle spasms that contribute to nerve compression or inflammation. This process restores balance to the spine and muscles, promoting nerve healing and alleviating pain.

Whiplash
Whiplash refers to neck pain resulting from an injury that forces the neck to move beyond its normal range of motion. While the neck is most commonly affected, other areas of the body may also experience discomfort. Whiplash injuries often occur in car accidents, but can also result from falls, cycling injuries, or horse riding accidents.
Symptoms of whiplash can appear immediately or develop within hours of the injury. Common symptoms include neck pain, swelling, muscle spasms, restricted neck movement, headaches, and shooting pain into the shoulders or arms.
Research has shown that early treatment, particularly within the first three months after the injury, is crucial for effective recovery from whiplash.
At our osteopathy clinic in Malvern, we offer specialized treatment for whiplash injuries. Osteopathy can help by reducing muscle tension through massage, restoring neck alignment through mobilisation and manipulation, and providing tailored exercises and advice to improve function and alleviate symptoms.

Neck & Back Ache
Neck pain and back ache can result from various causes such as arthritis, nerve entrapment, muscle tension, headaches, poor posture, or injuries like whiplash. Pain may be localised to the neck muscles, joints, or vertebrae, and can extend to the shoulders, base of the head, or radiate down the arms and back. Neck pain can also trigger headaches or cause pain to spread to other areas of the body.
At our osteopathy clinic in Malvern, our experienced osteopaths use a variety of techniques to effectively treat neck and back pain. Osteopathic treatments may include massage to relieve muscle tension, mobilisation to improve joint flexibility, and spinal manipulation to align the spine and alleviate discomfort. We also provide exercises and advice to enhance the benefits of the treatment and improve neck and muscle flexibility.
If you suffer from headaches related to neck pain, poor posture, stress, or muscle tension, osteopathy may help alleviate symptoms by addressing the root causes. Our treatment focuses on releasing muscle tension, improving joint movement, and correcting postural problems to relieve pain and prevent future discomfort.

Arthritic Pain
Arthritic pain can result from various forms of arthritis, with the most common being osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteopathy offers effective relief from arthritis symptoms by improving joint mobility, reducing inflammation, and alleviating pain through gentle, manual techniques.
Osteoarthritis, often referred to as “wear and tear,” is a degenerative joint condition that typically affects specific areas such as the hips, knees, or spine. Common symptoms include pain, stiffness, and restricted movement.
In contrast, rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the entire body, not just the joints. It causes severe pain, stiffness, and often joint deformity.
At our osteopathy clinic in Malvern, osteopathic treatment for arthritis is designed to enhance mobility, reduce inflammation, and ease discomfort. By using gentle techniques on the joints, muscles, and ligaments, osteopathy helps to improve your range of movement, reduce swelling, and manage arthritic symptoms effectively. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent further degeneration.
Osteopathic treatment may include massage, stretching, mobility exercises, and traction techniques. Your osteopath will also offer advice and exercises to improve joint function and reduce muscle tension. Additionally, osteopathy can support rehabilitation after surgeries such as hip or knee replacements and assist in managing arthritis at any stage.

Muscle Spasm
Muscle spasms occur as part of the body’s protective mechanism to prevent damage, often triggered by an injury or pressure on surrounding structures, such as a slipped disc or strain in the spinal joints. Other common areas affected by muscle spasms include the shoulder and calf muscles, where they may be linked to a damaged muscle, tendon, or irritated nerve. Unlike muscle cramps, muscle spasms can cause deep pain or a persistent ache and significantly reduce movement in the affected area.
Muscle spasms can lead to restricted back or joint movement, causing pain and tenderness. In some cases, pain can radiate to nearby areas. For example, damage to a spinal joint may cause inflammation and muscle spasms in the flank or side of the body, with radiating pain extending to the pelvis or ribcage.
At our osteopathy clinic in Malvern, we assess the underlying cause of the spasm and provide treatment accordingly. This may include soft tissue massage techniques, spinal mobilisation, or manipulation to relieve tension. Additional treatments, such as stretching, ultrasound, taping, or dry needling, may be incorporated based on your needs and preferences.

Pregnancy
Pregnancy is a wonderful and unique experience, and while the body has an incredible ability to adapt, it can also bring about conditions such as back pain, sciatica, headaches, shoulder pain, rib pain, pelvic pain, Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), and cramping. These discomforts can arise as the body changes to accommodate the growing baby.
Gentle yet effective osteopathic treatment can help alleviate many of these conditions. For example, osteopaths can use gentle mobilization and massage techniques to relieve pelvic pain or ease restrictions as the pelvis expands during pregnancy. Osteopathy may also help with sciatica, back or neck pain, SPD, and other pregnancy-related discomforts.
At our osteopathy clinic in Malvern, we understand the unique needs of pregnant women. Our osteopaths are trained to tailor treatments to suit each individual, providing safe and effective care throughout pregnancy.

Postnatal
After giving birth, your body takes time to recover, and with the demands of caring for a newborn, it can be a long process. Many women experience back pain from sitting and feeding, pelvic pain due to childbirth or Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction (SPD), as well as general aches and discomfort as their bodies adjust to the physical demands of looking after a baby and carrying car seats. Osteopathy can help realign the body, support recovery from pregnancy and birth, and promote proper healing.
In addition to treating mothers, osteopathy can also benefit babies. Complications during birth, such as a fast or slow delivery or the need for forceps, can cause stress and strain in the baby’s head and body. These complications may lead to issues like feeding difficulties, colic, and sleep disturbances. A cranial osteopath uses gentle techniques to release restrictions and stress within the baby’s body, helping to alleviate these concerns.
Postnatal osteopathic care involves techniques like mobilising the pelvis and back, massaging tight and sore muscles, and providing exercise advice to help maintain alignment and support the body’s recovery. These treatments are designed to relieve postnatal pain and discomfort, helping mothers recover more effectively.
One of our patients presented with pelvic pain following the birth of her second child. For six months after giving birth, she experienced pelvic pain and the sensation of lying on a pebble. Upon examination, it was found that her pelvis had not realigned properly. After two osteopathic sessions and a follow-up appointment a month later, her issue was fully resolved.
