London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) February 25, 2010 -- Mr. Xerxes Dalal D.O. is an accomplished Consultant Osteopathic Physician based in London at Hill's Chambers on West Smithfield, a custom built consultation and therapy practice dedicated to the highest standards of primary care and situated in St Paul's, at the heart of the City of London.
Osteopathic physicians use gentle hands neuromuscular massage techniques, joint mobilization and corrective manipulation to rapidly alleviate acute and chronic pain of biomechanical & musculoskeletal origin. Precise understanding of anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, is paramount to all osteopathic physicians in providing patients with the right diagnosis so they can focus treatment towards correcting the underlying biomechanical dysfunction, restoring freedom of movement and enhancing the body's own healing power.
Osteopathic physicians are committed to helping patients understand their health issues and provide preventative advice and how to avoid needing help. Osteopathic physicians assist chronic pain sufferers with tried and tested pain management techniques, reducing dependency on painkillers. Osteopathic physicians like all primary care practitioners provide computer based practices giving fast and efficient service, providing good communication with GPs and other healthcare professionals.
Osteopathy is a unique medical process restoring movement and symmetry to the entire body's structure, bringing back optimal integration of tissues and quality of function to muscles, joints and organs, encouraging freedom from pain and a feeling of being centered within the body. The goal of any osteopathic physician is an organism that is balanced in space around a vertical line, and that can move with ease and efficiency.
Osteopathy has been proven to work in a number of large scale studies, is recognized as a successful treatment by the British Medical Association and gained Primary Healthcare Status in 1993, which allows people to use osteopathic physicians as a first port of call, as they would a GP or dentist.
All osteopathic physicians have to be registered with the General Osteopathic Council, which regulates and develops the profession and maintains a register of those entitled to practice, who must have completed a very demanding five year course to degree standard in an accredited institution. To call oneself an osteopathic physician without such qualification is a criminal offence, like calling yourself a doctor without being properly qualified - and patients being treated by an osteopathic physician have the same legal rights as those being treated by a doctor or dentist.
Practicing osteopathic physicians are required to demonstrate continuing professional development (CPD) in order to remain registered, which entails keeping in touch with research and new methods of treatment. All osteopathic physicians are required to do at least thirty hours of CPD per annum.
