Osteopathy And The Elderly

Arthritis Treatment St.Kilda

Our Osteopaths at Middle Park Osteopathic Clinic offer arthritis treatment and Osteopathic management of low back pain and hip pain to name a few things commonly affecting the elderly. Aging is a normal physiological process. One part of the body which is greatly affected by the process of aging is the musculoskeletal system. As we get older, the elasticity present within our tissues reduces, which can increase the risk of injuring the soft tissues and bony structures within our bodies. This is where your Osteopath in Middle Park can help.

Typical symptoms

  • Generalised early morning stiffness and loss of mobility
