Stephen has opted not to register with BUPA, however, due to their restrictive practices. Therefore, we are unable to offer osteopathic treatment

Tip of the Week
Most people are aware that osteoporosis (a condition where bones reduce in density and become fragile) is associated with a factors such as reduced
physical activity (specifically walking), changes in hormone levels as we get older, the use of certain medicines such as steroids, and some illnesses.
However, it is less widely known that the modern "western" diet creates an acid load within the body, which is also a major contributing
factor in the development of osteoporosis. At the Ashfield Practice we provide dietary advice to patients with osteoporosis or at risk of developing
osteoporosis to help reduce the body's acid load.
In addition, a recent study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism has shown that Potassium Citrate, taken as a supplement in addition to the Calcium and Vitamin D supplements
prescribed by GPs, is effective at neutralising the body's acid load and increasing bone density.
