How Osteopathy Helps with Ankle Foot Pain

Your Osteopath will go through a range of questions with you during your Initial Consultation which will help us to understand the cause of the pain, and a treatment plan will be tailor-made for your diagnosis.

Please note: if the cause of the discomfort is not mechanical in nature (due to damage to the muscles, joints, ligaments or tendons) and is due to some other underlying issue, then the Osteopath will be able to refer you to the correct health professional to help deal with your symptoms.
