Specialist assessment and treatment for pain, numbness, or tingling that travels into the arms or legs tracing the source back to where the nerve is being compressed or irritated.
Attending your first appointment can feel daunting. Here is exactly what your journey looks like step by step.
Your first appointment begins with a thorough case history. I will take time to understand the full picture of your health, lifestyle, and presenting complaint, not just the symptoms, but the story behind it.
A thorough active and orthopaedic assessment follows examining your posture, movement range, and biomechanics to identify not just where the pain is, but precisely why it has arisen.
Treatment is delivered in the same appointment, and you leave with a clear, evidence based management plan including exercises, self care advice, and an honest prognosis for your recovery.
Initial appointments last 60 minutes. Follow-up treatments last 40 minutes.

An osteopath is a regulated healthcare professional who diagnoses and treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions including back pain, neck pain, joint problems, sports injuries, and headaches — using hands-on manual therapy, exercise advice, and lifestyle guidance. In the UK, osteopaths are registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).

Osteopathic treatment can help address the underlying structural causes of sciatic and nerve related pain, such as disc irritation, muscle tension, or joint stiffness that is compressing or irritating a nerve root. Amir will carry out a thorough neurological and orthopaedic assessment to identify the source and create a targeted treatment plan.
