Services
Osteopathy
Osteopathy at Fairfield Osteopathic Clinic focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders through hands-on techniques. Our practitioners use spinal manipulation, joint mobilisation, and soft tissue work to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance nervous system function. Treatment integrates patient education about posture, exercise, and lifestyle modifications to support long-term recovery. This service benefits individuals with back pain, headaches, sports injuries, and chronic pain conditions.
Remedial Massage
Our remedial massage therapy targets specific musculoskeletal issues using deep tissue techniques, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release. Designed to relieve muscle tension, improve circulation, and restore mobility, this service addresses sports injuries, postural strain, and stress-related conditions. Practitioners tailor sessions to individual needs, combining cupping, gua sha, and stretching to optimise recovery and prevent future injuries.
BPPV Treatment
Specialised BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) treatment involves precise vestibular rehabilitation techniques to resolve inner ear imbalances causing dizziness. Our osteopaths use positional manoeuvres like the Epley technique to reposition dislodged crystals in the ear. This evidence-based approach provides rapid relief from vertigo symptoms, improving balance and quality of life for patients experiencing recurrent dizziness episodes.
Dry Needling
Dry needling at our clinic targets muscle knots and trigger points using fine acupuncture needles to release tension and reduce pain. This technique improves blood flow, decreases inflammation, and promotes healing in affected tissues. Combined with manual therapy, it effectively treats chronic pain, sports injuries, and postural dysfunction, offering patients faster recovery and improved mobility.
Telehealth Consults
Telehealth consultations provide remote access to osteopathic and massage therapy advice through secure video calls. Ideal for initial assessments, follow-ups, or patients in regional areas, this service offers guidance on self-management strategies, exercise programs, and pain education. While hands-on treatment requires in-person visits, telehealth ensures continuity of care and expert support from the comfort of your home.

This clinic screwed up my neck to the point of severe suffering by making the same mistake 6 times (I assume it was a mistake since he said oops the first 3 times, but considering he kept doing it and it has caused me long term severe suffering I'm not so sure it was even accidental), and they have avoided taking responsibility entirely and it is costing me thousands to resolve the issues they caused while still suffering more than a year later. Genuinely pathetic service.

Small peaceful place, well kept and well managed. They care about the patients. Paula is a great Osteo and the lady who take the appointments is the sweetest nicest person on the earth, gentle, warm and very accurate.

I attended this clinic for back and rib pain as part of a care plan, using most of the sessions trying to resolve that before having a temporary injury to my neck which was almost entirely healed before the osteopath worked on it.The osteopath here hurt my neck so badly it is now magnitudes worse almost a year later with other treatment that I now have to pay for and I've had to just live with what he did. I called to ask if anything could be done about it to expect one of my other appointments to resolve it, even though those appointments did not offer the help needed to resolve the problem caused

So I never normally write reviews, getting me on a laptop outside of work hours takes a lot but I got the most LIFE-CHANGING treatment from Doctor Callan Reid last week. Had been having so much trouble with my back and he completely transformed my week/month/year?! Not an exaggeration to say this was the best thing that has happened to me in 2020! Super professional and will definitely be a part of my long term health plans for 2021 (right up there with the covid vaccine)
Thanks Callan! :-)

I've been for several treatments and the practitioners I dealt with were great. They took the time to understand my issue and gave a lot of practical advice that I've been able to follow. More importantly my back is feeling much better now!
