TREATMENT

The aim of the David Millard practice is to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal problems related to altered mechanics, function and posture. Pain can be the result of poor posture, injury, repetitive strain, general illness and as part of the normal aging process. By treating the body as a whole, we aim to address the cause of the pain and not just the symptoms.

A diagnosis is reached by taking a detailed medical history, followed by a postural and structural assessment. The diagnosis and proposed treatment plan will be explained to the patient and in most cases, treatment will commence on the first visit. If necessary further tests such as X-rays, MRI or other investigations may be recommended. Treatment is based on the individual needs of each patient.

The David Millard Practice provides effective treatment for all musculoskeletal problems, including :

  • Back Pain
  • Sciatica
  • Neck Pain
  • Headaches
  • Hip, knee and ankle pain
  • Sports injuries
  • Pregnancy related back pain
  • Muscular strains
  • Whiplash injuries
  • Tennis elbow
  • Postural problems

We aim to restore mobility, improve or restore function in restricted joints and the surrounding soft tissues to reduce spasm. Where appropriate, a wide variety of treatment modalities are employed including osteopathy, physiotherapy, podiatry, sports medicine and sports massage.
