Oakham and Melton Osteopathic and Sports Injury Clinics

Osteopathy is the most widely used of the Complimentary Therapies for the relief of pain caused by Musculo-Skeletal conditions. Since its acceptance by the British Medical Association and Statutory Registration by the General Osteopathic Council Osteopathy has finally come of age.

Mr Mitchell Lovett is a Fully Registered Osteopath, who has been in private practice since 1993. He has worked in Harley Street, and as a consultant at the Tyringham Naturopathic clinic, beginning his Oakham practice in August 1995. His latest clinic at the Latham House Medical Practice began in January 2001. In addition he now works at The Rosegarth Clinic in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Mr Lovett has received extensive experience with Sports Injuries and is effective with all forms, including Acute Sprains and Strains.

Osteopathy is not just for conditions affecting the neck and low back, all the joints can be treated effectively from the head to the toes. Some conditions seem to come on gradually and without reason; these are normally due to small adaptive changes that our bodies make within our own environment and over long periods can overload the body. Then it becomes painful!

When you attend for treatment, there will first be a consultation to learn your medical history and the nature of your condition. Then you will be given a physical examination to determine exactly the problem that is giving the pain; it could be directly round the area of the spine, neck or limbs, or referred from another part. He will then explain in simple terms using models and charts what your problem is and how it can be corrected.

It is a remarkable fact that thousands of people in this country are living with pain or varying degrees of discomfort quite unnecessarily. Thousands of ‘man hours’ are lost to industry each year because of ‘Low back Strain’ and other joint and muscle pain.

How many people are walking around today who complain of aches and pains? Most of them do not need to do so. Most treatments they receive are for the relief of symptoms (symptom swatting), not a cure for their condition.

Long term chronic problems can lead to early Arthritis. Acute onset problems as a result of injury such as Whiplash respond excellently to early Osteopathic treatment.

The treatment will consist of any or a combination of the following:

Soft Tissue Massage - to relax and re-balance the Muscular System;
Specific Osteopathic Manipulation – to correct any Mechanical Problems;
Cranial Osteopathy - gentle techniques used on the body via the head;
Visceral Osteopathy - correction of problems within the internal organs;
Orthopathic Treatment – to release any Fascial Distortion;
Electrotherapy – suitable to your condition to Enhance Healing.

Pain is the body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Every form of pain and discomfort must have a cause. Numbness, pins and needles, aches and pains right up to the level of sheer agony as in Sciatica are all different levels of pain.

You cannot possibly experience any of these without a cause. If only people would realise that if something has gone sufficiently wrong to cause any of the above, it needs to be put right, and like everything else in life ...the sooner the better.

Thousands of people today have reason to be thankful to Osteopathy and now enjoy complete freedom from their previous ailments.

It could help you, to lead a pain free life.
