Gold Coast Osteopathy

To provide a "List of Conditions that Osteopathy Treats" would be misleading, as Osteopathy doesn't really treat Conditions so much as it Treats People.

Osteopathy treats Bodies that are an Aggregation of Many Inter-connected and Interacting Parts.  And Osteopathy Acknowledges that a Person's Body - their Musculoskeletal Framework - and their State of Mind are very often Inter-related.

So here is a List of some of the Conditions that our Clients suffer from when they attend our Clinic for Treatment.  For those of you who enjoy reading the Research behind what we do, our Research Page provides a number of wonderful Links.
