Osteopathy
What is Osteopathy?
What can I expect when I see an Osteopath for the first time?
You will be asked questions about your personal medical history, whether you have suffered any physical traumas to the body, (such as accidents or injuries) and about your current health problem.
You may also be asked about your lifestyle, your work and leisure activities. This information will enable the Osteopath to determine a suitable treatment plan specific to your particular condition. Generally, your first appointment will also involve osteopathic treatment, in the form of massage, manipulations and/or electrotherapy.
After your treatment you may be given advice on exercise, stretching, posture and diet. This is designed to accelerate your healing and ensure that your condition can be prevented as much as possible in the future.

Testimonials
John Griffiths. (N Wales): Can't believe how much better I feel. John has helped me so much. Thank you!
Chris Jones (N Wales): Thank you so much, feel wonderful.
Jonathan Mussen (N Wales): "I have suffered with chronic lower back pain for the last six years, since becoming an operational Police Officer. Osteopathy at the LEAF CLINIC in LLANDUDNO was recommended by a friend and I am thrilled with the results. After just two sessions including manipulations and acupuncture my back was virtually pain-free, which felt truly miraculous after suffering daily discomfort. I attended a final third session which enabled me to move forward with home exercises and advice and I am now completely pain free. The treatment I received was incredibly professional yet relaxed and friendly. I will not hesitate to recommend Jonathan at the LEAF CLINIC to friends, family and colleagues."
Jonathan Mussen (N Wales): "I went to (the) LEAF clinic as I was struggling with neck pain and was having increasingly difficulty working... due to pain and lack of movement in my right shoulder.... Jonathan decided ShockWave therapy may help me. I was incredibly impressed with the massive improvement in my shoulder condition even after only one treatment. I'm very aware of how long such injuries can take to recover so I can't thank you enough!"
John Griffiths (N Wales): In a word - Superb / Ardderchog.
