What does an osteopath do?
An osteopath is a primary healthcare practitioner who assesses, diagnoses, and treats musculoskeletal conditions. We use hands-on techniques, prescribe movement advice, and rehabilitation strategies to help reduce pain, improve mobility, and support long-term recovery.
Osteopaths in New Zealand are ACC-registered and trained to recognise when referral or imaging is appropriate.
Do I need a referral to see an osteopath?
No referral is needed. You can book directly.
If your injury is covered by ACC, we can lodge a claim for you during your appointment.
Is osteopathy covered by ACC?
Yes. ACC covers many acute injuries, including back pain, sprains, strains, and sports injuries.
You don’t need a GP referral — we can submit the claim on your behalf. You’ll just pay the ACC co-payment.
What should I expect at my first appointment?
Your osteopath will take a detailed case history, assess your movement, and perform hands-on testing to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms.
Treatment may include gentle manual therapy, soft-tissue techniques, joint mobilisation, and personalised exercise advice.
You’ll leave with a clear plan and next steps.
What conditions do osteopaths treat?
Common conditions include:
- Back and neck pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Shoulder, hip, and knee pain
- Pregnancy-related discomfort
- Sports injuries
- Postural or work-related strain
- Persistent or recurring pain
If you’re unsure whether osteopathy can help, we’re happy to advise.
