Spalding Osteopathic Practice was established in 1993 with the aim of providing excellence in musculo-skeletal healthcare for the population of South Lincolnshire. It was the first practice of its kind in Spalding. After 25 years the philosophy of the practice remains the same and we stay committed to providing the highest level of care to our patients by highly qualified and experienced Osteopaths working from pleasant and relaxing surroundings in a professional and friendly environment. Osteopathy is a safe and gentle treatment which aims to identify and correct dysfunction within the musculo-skeletal system (joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons). When the body is in balance, proper function may be restored and healing can take place. Osteopathy is a statutory regulated profession and it is against the law for anyone not registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsCâ€) to use the title Osteopath. Osteopathy is recognised by the BMA and is an approved form of treatment with all of the leading private health insurance companies. Osteopathy is a primary healthcare profession and a referral from a GP is not required before consulting an Osteopath.
