Body Wise Osteopathy

Noel Adams Registered Osteopath 07973 635017

Noel Adams is a Registered Osteopath with the General Osteopathic Council, and a member of the British Osteopathic Association. He is an experienced and confident practitioner.

My practice is based across clinics in Amersham,and Marlow, where I see patients from the local areas of Maidenhead, Slough, Windsor, Reading, Marlow, Burnham, High Wycombe, Woodley, Winnersh and other areas of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

I am experienced in treating conditions such as back pain, slipped disc, sciaticia, neck pain, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, wrist pains, RSI / carpal tunnel, tennis elbow, golfers elbow, hip pain, knee pain, foot and ankle pain, and disorders related to disruption of the viscera.

My approach to treatment is to use my knowledge of Osteopathy, Naturopathy, Acupuncture and Applied Pilates to tailor treatment for each individuals needs.

What to expect at your first treatment:

Osteopathy is a patient-centred system of healthcare. A first appointment
generally lasts longer than subsequent appointments, to allow the osteopath
adequate time to:
• Listen and ask questions about your problem, your general health, other
medical care you are receiving or medication you are taking, and record
this in your case notes. The information you provide will be confidential.
• Examine you properly. It is likely the osteopath will ask you to remove
some of your clothing. Tell your osteopath if you are uncomfortable about
this. You should expect privacy to undress, and a gown or towel may
be provided. You can ask a friend or relative to accompany you during
your treatment.
• Ask you to make simple movements and stretches, to observe your
posture and mobility. Because of the body’s structure, pain or stiffness
you are experiencing in one area may be linked to a problem elsewhere.
• Examine the health of the joints, tissues and ligaments using their hands
and a highly developed sense of touch called palpation.
• Check for signs of other serious conditions they cannot treat and advise
you to see your GP or go to hospital. They should provide you with a letter
explaining what they believe to be the problem.

Diagnosis and Treatment

Osteopathy specialises in the diagnosis, management, treatment and
prevention of musculoskeletal and other related disorders.
• Your osteopath will give you a clear explanation of what they found (their
diagnosis), and discuss a treatment plan that is suitable for you, which may
include lifestyle changes. They will explain the benefits and any risks of the
treatment they are recommending.
• It is important to understand and agree what the treatment can achieve, and
the likely number of sessions needed for a noticeable improvement in your
wellbeing.
• Treatment is hands-on and involves skilled manipulation of the spine and
joints, and massage of soft tissues. Your osteopath will explain what they are
doing and will always ask your permission to treat you (known as consent).
Ask questions at any time, if you are unsure of what you have been told or if
you have any concerns.
• Self-help measures and advice on exercise may be offered to assist your
recovery, and prevent recurrence or worsening of symptoms.

Ongoing Care

Due to the physical nature of the treatment, it is not unusual to sometimes
feel sore or stiff in the first 24–48 hours after treatment. Your osteopath will
explain any likely reactions that you could expect. If you have any concerns,
it is important to contact the osteopath and ask their advice.
It may require more than one visit before your problem is resolved. The
osteopath will review your progress at each subsequent visit and seek your
consent to any changes to your treatment plan.
