Frequently Asked Questions

Will my health insurance cover osteopathy in Castle Douglas?

Many private health insurance policies cover osteopathy, typically reimbursing £30–£60 per session up to an annual limit. Check your policy details or ask your osteopath—many are registered with major insurance providers. The NHS does not routinely fund osteopathy, though some GP practices may refer patients to NHS physiotherapy instead.

How many sessions will I need?

Most acute conditions resolve in 3–6 sessions over 6–12 weeks. Chronic issues may require 8–12 sessions. Your osteopath will assess you at the initial consultation and recommend a personalised treatment plan. Improvement is often noticeable within 2–3 sessions.

What's the difference between an initial consultation and follow-up treatment?

Initial consultations (45–60 minutes) include detailed history-taking, physical examination, and diagnosis. Follow-up sessions (30–45 minutes) focus on targeted treatment. Initial appointments cost £55–£80; follow-ups are typically £45–£70.

Are there any hidden costs I should know about?
