Rheumatic pain

Osteopathy can help to reduce tissue inflammation and hence pain. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition in which the body’s immune system attacks the joint synovium. This typically causes joint inflammation and pain. Osteopathic treatment, alongside appropriate medication from your Rheumatologist, aims to reduce the inflammation by using gentle manipulation to the muscles, ligaments and joints to improve mobility and increase lymphatic and venous drainage.
