Osteopathy on the NHS?

[Tom the Tenor]

Hi, Can some kind person advise if Osteopathic appointments are available on the UK NHS? My neck, right foot and hip give me a load of trouble. I would have some chance if I could get to an osteopath weekly or fortnightly but that is a lot of dough over here in Ireland on small pay. Any replies appreciated. Thank you, TTT.

Yes, they are. But it may depend on how sympathetic your GP is to osteopathy, what area you are in etc. I don't have any personal experience, so hopefully someone will be able to tell you more than I can.

Thank you, Whirlybrid* for the info. Certainly, the younger GPs over here have no problem in recommending an osteopath, you just have to fork out for it yourself! Hope you get to fly Pumas or Cougars! Thank you, TTT.
