ABOUT THE PRACTICE

 

Christine’s Practice has been established in Ealing and Hanwell since 1991.

 We have been looking after patients of all ages, often treating several generations of the same family and an extended network of  their friends, neighbours and work colleagues.

The majority of our patients over the past 20 years have come to us by personal recommendation from people who have been helped by treatment they have received here.

 

We are osteopaths in the heart of the West London community, treating patients of all ages and from many walks of life.

 

All of our patients are special to us and we take care to find out as best we can, why a particular set of symptoms has developed.  Our approach to osteopathic care of our patients combines a great deal of listening alongside good clinical diagnosis, careful treatment and advice to support your recovery back to better health.

 

And if we are unable to help you we do our best to refer you on to someone who can, whether it is a guided referral back to your G.P. or to the right person for Pilates exercise and rehabilitation or other complimentary practitioner or specialist consultant.

 

As osteopaths we are trained in conventional allopathic medicine to make a clear clinical assessment of our patients and accurate diagnosis.  Our  philosophy differs from allopathic medicine in that we embrace the concept of optimal health.  While our diagnosis may acknowledge, for example, a degenerative condition as being partly responsible for a set of symptoms, our approach is aimed at improving the function of the patient’s body as much as possible.

To achieve this we provide advice on life-style, injury management,  posture, exercise and nutrition as part of the path back to optimal health and wellbeing.

For some of our patients, they may come and see us for a few visits and find all their symptoms have gone.

 For other patients where there is a more long term problem (regardless of age) the approach involves a lot more attention to lifestyle and advice alongside treatment.

 Once we have taken your history and observed your initial response to treatment we endeavour to give you an idea of how much treatment you are likely to need to get better. 

Our clinical training and osteopathic expertise makes us well placed to differentially diagnose a broad range of conditions and to identify those occasions when a patient comes to us for osteopathic help but in fact, may be in need of  different help, for example, a referral back to their G.P. or via G.P. to a specialist Consultant.
