Treatment

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a hands-on form of healthcare that focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing pain and dysfunction in the body. Osteopaths combine their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics with clinical reasoning and experience to determine the cause of pain and what the most effective treatment plan will be.

At Shore Osteopaths, we use a combination of clinical assessment and manual treatment techniques to help reduce pain, improve movement, and restore normal function.

We treat people of all ages across the North Shore of Auckland, with a focus on musculoskeletal conditions such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and headaches. If you're looking for an osteopath near you, see our Areas We Serve page.

• Back pain (upper and lower back)
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Shoulder pain and injuries

• Sciatica and nerve-related pain

How Osteopathic Treatment Works

Each treatment begins with a full assessment of your condition, including your movement, posture, and medical history.

Treatment may include:

• Gentle joint mobilisation to improve movement
• Joint manipulation (the "click") - as we use other techniques, we will not use manipulation if you do not want it
  
• Soft tissue techniques to reduce muscle tension
• Stretching and release of restricted areas
• Postural and ergonomic advice
• Rehabilitation exercises to support recovery

Our approach is always tailored to your individual needs and comfort level.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your first visit will typically include:

• A detailed discussion of your symptoms and history
• Physical examination and movement testing
• Explanation of your diagnosis
• Hands-on treatment 
• A clear plan for recovery and ongoing care

​Appointments are designed to be thorough, with enough time to properly understand and treat your condition.
