Osteopathy at Spine Plus
Spine Plus provides osteopathy from five modern clinics serving East London and Essex: Bow, Stratford, Gidea Park, Woodford and Chigwell. Medical acupuncture, as well as other treatment modalities, are available from our osteopaths at no extra cost.
All of our osteopaths are postgraduate trained and are extremely experienced, giving reassurance to all our patients. We listen to your symptoms and provide the care we recommend after a thorough assessment, giving you the confidence to start your rehabilitation.
About Osteopathy
Osteopathy originated in America in the late 19th century and has developed in the UK within the private sector over the last 40 years. It is a regulated healthcare profession in the UK, with all osteopaths required to be registered with the General Osteopathic Council (GOsC).
There is a common misconception that osteopaths only treat the spine through joint manipulation. Modern osteopaths are trained in a wide variety of hands-on manual therapy techniques for all the muscles and joints of the body. Treatment is informed by detailed clinical assessment and tailored to the individual patient.
Our Approach
At Spine Plus, our osteopaths take a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. Rather than providing osteopathy in isolation, our team works within a clinical environment that also includes physiotherapy, medical acupuncture, and advanced treatment technologies such as shockwave therapy, TECAR, laser and IDD spinal decompression. This means the most appropriate treatment for your condition can always be delivered, all in one place.

The team at Spine Plus have truly got my life back on track. After suffering for months with no idea where to go or what to do, I am now living a normal life again, something that I didn't think was possible.
Jono Partridge
There's no one else I go to keep me injury-free and at the top of my sport. It's as though they have a sixth sense and know exactly where the cause of an injury is and what to do about it!
