Our Practice
The Glasgow Osteopathic Centre has been established in the south side of Glasgow since 1992. It has been our constant aim to reduce pain and improve the health of our patients through osteopathy.
Osteopaths see an estimated 7 million patients a year throughout the UK for problems including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, trapped nerves, frozen shoulders, postural problems and minor sports injuries.
Osteopathy is suitable for a wide range of patients from younger to older people, office professionals, pregnant women, and sports people to name a few.
