Lindum Osteopathic Practice

Lindum Osteopathic Practice is in Stoke-on-Trent, with osteopathic care and yoga offered across two local sites. Jean Snape BSc (Hons) Osteopathy provides assessment and treatment for musculoskeletal and related health concerns, using osteopathic approaches that include visceral, functional, structural and cranial techniques.

Osteopathic appointments can cover arthritic pain, circulatory problems, digestive problems, fibromyalgia, headaches arising from the neck, joint pains, acute and chronic back pain, muscle spasms, sciatica and neuralgia, also described as nerve pain. Care may include physical treatment, movement advice and prescribed exercises, with onward referral, lifestyle advice, manual therapy or exercise therapy used where appropriate.
