The Glasgow Osteopathic Centre has been established in the south side of Glasgow since 1992. It has been our constant aim to reduce pain and improve the health of our patients through Osteopathy. More recently, we offer additional therapies such as massage and accupuncture.
Osteopaths see an estimated 7 million patients a year throughout the UK for problems including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, trapped nerves, frozen shoulders, postural problems and minor sports injuries.
Osteopathy is suitable for a wide range of patients from younger to older people, office professionals, pregnant women, and sports people to name a few.

What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on treatment performed by moving, stretching and massaging a person’s muscles and joints to improve the mobility of joints and relieve muscle tension. Osteopaths do not perform surgery, use machines or do X-Rays. Most people who see an osteopath have issues which affect their muscles, bones and joints. However, they do help with a broader range of issues which aren’t as obvious such as migraines, foot and ankle pain.
An osteopath does not concentrate only on the problem area but uses manual techniques to treat the body as a whole. Osteopaths have been through a thorough and detailed medical training program which includes much of what a doctor has had to learn. Furthermore, Osteopaths must be registered with The General Osteopathic Council in order to practise, and they are fully qualified in using techniques to help treat the individual.

What is Acupuncture?
Traditional acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It has a very positive model of good health and function, and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment, then, is to restore the body’s equilibrium.
