Common questions about osteopathy, our treatments, and what to expect when you visit the Canonbury Clinic.
No. You can book directly with the clinic without a GP referral. If you are in pain or struggling to move, get in touch and we will arrange a time that works for you.
I treat back pain, neck pain, shoulder, arm and hand pain, and knee pain, along with sports injuries and long-standing musculoskeletal problems. The focus is always on finding what is driving the pain and treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Your first visit starts with a full assessment to understand what is causing your pain. I will take a history, examine how you move, and explain what is driving the problem. Where appropriate, treatment can begin in the same session.
Shockwave therapy is an advanced option for long-standing, chronic problems such as persistent tendon pain and calcific conditions. It is designed to stimulate the body’s own repair process and may help where other approaches have not delivered lasting relief. I will assess whether it is right for you at your first appointment.
Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment for chronic musculoskeletal pain and slow-healing soft tissue injuries. It is designed to support the body’s recovery and reduce persistent pain, and is often used alongside hands-on osteopathic treatment.
Yes, chronic pain is a large part of what I treat. Rather than masking symptoms, I look for the root cause, and for stubborn conditions I can use advanced options like shockwave and laser therapy designed to support lasting relief.
Every case is different and depends on the condition and how long it has been present. After your assessment I will give you a clear, honest picture of what your treatment is likely to involve. The aim is lasting relief, not endless appointments.
The clinic is on the first floor of The Canonbury Natural Health Clinic at 265 Upper Street, London N1 2UQ. It is a short walk from Angel and Highbury and Islington stations, in the heart of Islington.
