Your osteopath will endeavour to offer a fair and cost effective treatment service that improves the patient's complaint in the least number of sessions. This will vary on the severity of your presentation and the length of time the patient has experienced the pain or discomfort. As a general rule, patients should expect to see a good degree of improvement within 2-4 sessions.

Your osteopath will support and advise you throughout the process giving you a clear understanding of your options and likely treatment schedule.
