Welcome to Greenway Osteopaths

Experienced osteopath in Bristol

My name is Graeme Dodd. I am a qualified Osteopath based in Bristol with over 20 years' experience. I am registered with the general Osteopathic Council (GOsC) and have a BSc(Hon) degree in Osteopathy.


I have a professional background in health and personal fitness and I bring this experience to enhance my osteopathic skills.


I treat most common musculoskeletal conditions, not just 'back pain' but many other conditions as well, including:


  • Disc problems / sciatic pain
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain / whiplash injuries
  • Trapped nerves / nerve root pain
  • Posture problems due to desk working
  • Shoulder injuries
  • Arthritis and joint pain
  • Sports Injuries
  • Common tendon problems / tennis elbow via Shockwave Therapy


I treat in a ‘hands-on’ way that is non invasive using a variety of techniques like manipulation, mobilisation and soft tissue massage type techniques.  Dry needling can also be used where appropriate for certain musculoskeletal conditions. Patients consent is always obtained.

Shockwave Therapy

I offer Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT) which isn't widely available in Bristol. It's an excellent, non-invasive option drug-free option with little or no side effects for a range of persistent problems when other treatments have failed and surgery seems the next option.


Shockwave Therapy has both NICE guidance approval for health and care in England for a large number of musculoskeletal conditions, in particular common tendon problems.


Shockwave Therapy is particularly effective for:


  • Achilles Tendinopathy
  • Plantar Fasciitis
  • Osteoarthritic joint pain (particularly osteoarthritic knee pain)
  • Patellar tendinopathy (sport related knee pain)
  • Bone healing (post fracture of the bone is slow to heal)
  • Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints)
  • Tennis/golfers elbow
  • Calcific rotator cuff tendinopathy (shoulder pain)


Before you consider steroid injections or surgery, contact me about your suitability for Shockwave Therapy.
