Our focus here at Coffs Coast Osteopathy is to provide quality musculoskeletal healthcare for the least possible cost to the individual. We rely on word of mouth and repeat clients to maintain our business, therefore our service to you is of the highest importance to us.
Our Coffs Harbour Osteopathic clinic has accomplished osteopaths who are dedicated to ongoing education and evidence based practice so that we can provide excellence in osteopathic care.
Our Coffs Harbour Osteopaths are concerned not only with trying to alleviate patients’ pain and other musculoskeletal symptoms but also with trying to help prevent problems recurring. We regard treatment as a cooperative process between practitioner and patient and encourage patients to participate in preventive health programs.
Preventive osteopathic care may include the prescription of exercise programs, provision of ergonomic and postural advice, and dietary and general lifestyle advice. In addition, where appropriate, osteopaths may refer patients to other practitioners to assist with preventive work.
Over the years patients have presented at our clinic with many different conditions and injuries. During your initial assessments at we will discuss which of our services, if any, will be best suited to treat your underlying conditions. If possible, we will also offer you the support and direction to manage and improve your conditions yourself. On the rare occasion we are unable to assist with your particular situation, we will refer you to other services we believe would be better suited to improving your conditions.

Osteopathy is an established recognised system of diagnosis and treatment, which lays its main emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body. It is distinctive by the fact that it recognises that much of the pain and disability we suffer stems from abnormalities in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease. It is not just about treating the bones. Coffs Coast Osteopathy debunks the myths osteopathy.
Whilst back pain and neck pain are the most common problems seen, Coffs Coast Osteopathy can help with a wide variety of problems including changes to posture in pregnancy, babies with colic or sleeplessness, repetitive strain injury, postural problems caused by driving or work strain, headaches and migraines, the pain of arthritis, soft tissue sprains and strains and sports injuries among many others. Leaflets explaining many of the common treatments used are available at the clinic.
Osteopathy is patient centred, which means treatment is geared to you as an individual. Your Osteopath will give you an indication of your treatment plan and options during the initial consultation. For some acute conditions one or two treatments may be all that is necessary. Chronic conditions may need more initial treatment and ongoing maintenance sessions at 2-6 month intervals.
A formal referral from your GP is not necessary. Whilst patients may be referred to Osteopaths by Doctors, many patients self-refer.
Many private health insurance schemes give benefits for Osteopathic treatment. Reimbursement will depend on the insurer and the plan you have chosen. Contact the helpline of your insurance company who will explain the actual benefits and methods of claim for your individual policy. We offer the HICAPS system at the clinic for immediate payment of your claim.
