Osteopathy Treatment
Hands-on care to help you move better and feel better
If pain, stiffness, or recurring injuries are getting in the way of your day-to-day life, Osteopathy can help.
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to assessing, diagnosing, and treating a wide range of musculoskeletal issues. We look at how your body is moving as a whole, then use gentle manual techniques to reduce strain, improve mobility, and support recovery.
At Aligned Wellness, your treatment plan is tailored to you. Depending on what you need, we may also use additional tools such as Shockwave Therapy and Dry needling to support pain relief and tissue healing.

Dry Needling
If you have stubborn muscle tightness or trigger points, dry needling can help encourage tight muscles to relax. We use fine, sterile, single-use needles. The needles do not inject any medication.
We will only recommend shockwave therapy or dry needling if it is appropriate for your symptoms and safe for you.
