Improving your quality of life.

Welcome to OsteoLife

Most people experience some kind of musculoskeletal pain at some point in their lives. For some, the pain may be minor and subside on its own after a couple of days, while for others, it may be excruciating and affect their daily living. Osteopathy can be effective in remedying vaious musculoskeletal pains, including:

• Lower back pain
• Headache
• Jaw Pain (TMJ)
• Neck Pain
• Migraine
• Injury and other ailments in children
• Pain during pregnancy, feeding difficulties and other issues observed in babies 

Hi, my name is Dr. Valerie Johnston-Dugamin. I established OsteoLife in 2014 to offer a greater personalised osteopathic service to all my patients.

The OsteoLife approach:

• Listening to what you have to say about your condition;
• Removing the symptoms to alleviate your pain;
• Uncovering the underlying cause of your health problem;
• Offering you ways to participate in your recovery; and
• Suggesting a care plan to help you return to your daily activities.

We also focus on:

• Reinforcing the importance of self-management in association with your treatment plan;
• Providing advice on the appropriate and regular excercises that are tailored for you; and
• Stressing on the importance of a balanced diet and strong body awareness.
