Ever wondered if your teeth are bones? Let’s clear this up. They are not bones. They are similar in some ways to bone in that they are hard and have blood vessels and nerves running through them. They are even largely made up of calcium, like bones are. Teeth can even break like bones, but if you break a tooth it stays broken. Bones can heal and remodel naturally over the course of our lives.

Another interesting fact is that all bones are completely en-cased within our skin. Teeth are part encased (the root part inside your gum) and part exposed (the peggy part you bite your food with).

Look after your teeth… They are in limited supply!

What should I wear to an osteo appointment? We get asked this question A LOT! The simplest answer is loose and comfortable clothing. There is every chance we will ask you to undress (never more than to your underwear) because it is so important that we can see your body at a skin level in order for our diagnosis and treatment to be as accurate and effective as possible.

We provide robes for anyone not comfortable standing in their underwear, and we will always ensure body parts that don’t need to be exposed during treatment are covered with a towel. Your comfort is our number one priority.

For telehealth appointments, we ask that you also wear loose and comfortable clothing. Like in-clinic appointments, we may need to look at certain areas, like how your spine is working, or how your shoulder blades are looking for example. In these cases, we may ask you to remove clothes or sections of clothes that cover that area. The same principles apply as in-clinic appointments. Your comfort comes first. Always.

We hope this helps!

Have you heard of a labral tear? A labrum is a piece of soft tissue found in both of the major ball and socket joints in the body - the shoulder and hip. They act as a lining to the socket joints, helping to provide stability to the joint during movement. Labral tears can occur as a result of trauma or long-term wear and tear of the joints. Many tears will give no symptoms at all, however significant tears can be
debilitating and require therapy or possible surgical intervention depending on the situation.

Shoulder or hip pain? Speak to us and we’ll get you on the road to recovery before you can say femora-acetabular joint… That’s a fancy way of saying hip joint 😉
