History and Catchment Area

The Childer Road Osteopathic Practice was established 21 years ago and has grown and developed to meet the complementary osteopathic needs of the communities of Stowmarket and Suffolk.

About 10% of patients travel over 20 miles to the practice, 40% travel over 10 miles to consult us whilst 50% of our patients are within 10 miles of the practice.

Exciting Recent Developments in Stowmarket & Hadleigh

Though we have always worked with local GP practices the opportunity arose in June 2003 to strengthen our established links with one of the local GP practices. We are sure that this will serve to improve our care of you. This drive to improve your care has been enhanced recently by moving part of our practice operation to the new StowHealth GP practice at Violet Hill House.
