Osteoarthritis, a common and often challenging condition, affects millions of individuals worldwide. As joints wear down over time, the pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility associated with osteoarthritis can significantly impact quality of life. However, finding effective relief doesn’t have to be elusive, and that’s where our multidisciplinary clinic comes in. Martin Calonico Koenig, registered Osteopath at Freedom Care Clinics in Manchester and Leeds, explores the role of Osteopathy in relieving arthritic symptoms.
At Freedom Care Clinics we are aware of the particular challenges that each person with osteoarthritis faces. Our skilled professionals are committed to provide comprehensive care that goes beyond treating symptoms alone. We seek to empower our patients on their path to better health, reduce pain, and improve joint function with a treatment approach that is tailored for individuals needs. Our aim is to ease the tension present in the affected joints by applying traction and soft tissue mobilisation techniques. We believe that by improving joint mobility and surrounding muscular strength, osteopathy can help to lessen pain and stiffness, enabling a more comfortable and complete range of motion. This, in turn, directly contributes to our patients’ daily feelings of security and confidence when performing day-to-day activities.
One of the key benefits of osteopathic care for osteoarthritis is its non-invasive nature. We prioritise natural methods that work with the body’s own healing mechanisms. Our osteopaths employ soft tissue manipulation, stretching, and tailored exercises to improve muscle strength and support the affected joints, encompassing a comprehensive and sustainable approach to symptom management.
Beyond the physical aspect, our clinic also emphasises patient education. We work closely with individuals to understand their unique condition, discussing lifestyle modifications, and offering guidance on self-care practices that can complement our in-clinic treatments. This collaborative approach empowers patients to actively participate in their healing journey.
