Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at Rozelle Osteopaths focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders through manual techniques. Our practitioners address back pain, joint issues, and postural problems by improving mobility and promoting natural healing. Patients benefit from individualised treatment plans combining soft tissue manipulation, joint mobilisation, and lifestyle advice.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy utilises acoustic waves to accelerate healing in chronic musculoskeletal conditions like plantar fasciitis and tennis elbow. This non-invasive treatment stimulates blood flow, breaks down calcification, and reduces inflammation. Patients typically undergo 36 weekly sessions, with noticeable pain relief often occurring after the first appointment.
Dry Needling
Dry needling involves inserting fine needles into trigger points to relieve muscle tension and pain. Based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, this technique improves circulation and nervous system function. Sessions may include 16 needles left in place for 120 minutes, with most patients experiencing immediate relaxation and reduced discomfort.
Industrial Injury Management
Our clinic specialises in managing work-related musculoskeletal injuries through targeted osteopathic treatments. We collaborate with local workers and employers to facilitate recovery, reduce downtime, and prevent recurrence. Services include ergonomic assessments, rehabilitation plans, and documentation for insurance claims, ensuring compliance with workplace health and safety standards.
Consultations
Initial consultations involve comprehensive assessments of patients' medical history, lifestyle, and specific complaints. Practitioners develop customised treatment strategies, which may combine osteopathy, needling, or shockwave therapy. Follow-up sessions monitor progress and adjust interventions to optimise outcomes for both acute and chronic conditions.
