What is urgent osteopathic care?
Urgent osteopathic care addresses functional problems that limit your ability to move around or carry out your daily activities. These are sudden pains such as a stiff neck (torticollis), back pain or locked joints. Prompt care is needed to help you regain your full mobility. Osteopaths see clients whose urgent need is not medical in nature. An osteopath is in no way a substitute for a physician or general practitioner. Your osteopath will not make a diagnosis; if you need one, the practitioner will refer you to your physician, who can make one. In a medical emergency, call 911.

Stiff neck (torticollis)
A stiff neck (torticollis) is a contracture of the neck muscles that prevents normal head movement. It may be of emotional origin (stress) or traumatic origin, or the result of built-up tension triggered by an awkward movement.
Cervicobrachial neuralgia
Cervicobrachial neuralgia is irritation of a cervical nerve root, with pain radiating into the arm or along the shoulder blade. A medical assessment is essential to rule out other causes, as this condition may stem from significant nerve involvement.
Lumbago, lower back sprain
Lumbago is acute lower back pain that comes on suddenly. It often follows an awkward movement and may be linked to local strain in the tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc.) or tension in an intervertebral disc; it can have several different causes.
Sciatica, sciatic pain, sacral pain
Sciatica is a nerve-related condition often caused by osteoarthritis or disc disease. It is often associated with lumbago, but with a radiating sensation through the buttock that can travel down to the foot. Sciatica should be taken seriously, as it may be a sign of a herniated disc.
Mid-back and lower back pain
These terms refer to localized pain in certain areas of the back; each is named according to its location: lumbalgia for lower back pain and dorsalgia for mid-back pain.
Ankle sprain
An ankle sprain, or sprain of the lateral ankle ligament, is the most common type and follows a traumatic movement in the form of a twisting of the joint. It very quickly leads to swelling (edema) and limited mobility of the ankle, and therefore of the foot. Sprains can occur in any peripheral joint: wrists, fingers, knees.
Shoulder pain and stiffness
In the shoulder, this usually involves inflammation resulting from a known but untreated tendon problem, when the pain is not of traumatic origin.
Who can book urgent osteopathic care?
Anyone who feels their situation calls for prompt care. It could be a child who sprains a wrist playing hockey, or someone who throws out their back weeding the garden. Everyday events can lead us to this point if we don’t take charge of our health.
Life is movement!
