Visiting an Osteopath
On your first visit with our osteopath Gold Coast, and before the examination begins, the Osteopath will discuss and record your medical history in detail.
During examination and treatment by an Osteopath, you will typically be asked to remove some of your outer clothing. Please wear underwear, shorts or sports bra that you feel comfortable in. A gown is offered.
Considering the case history, the osteopath will then apply a highly developed sense of touch to identify points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body.
Further investigations by your Osteopath may sometimes be required, including x-rays, scans, or other assessments that we may feel are necessary to identify the cause of your complaint. This will allow a complete diagnosis of the problem and enable the Osteopath to tailor a treatment plan to your needs.
