Who do I need to see?

[HiveQueen]

A few years ago I had shoulder problems, pain along with grinding and cracking. I saw a physiotherapist and it eased a lot following the exercises they gave me. They said that it was probably osteoarthritis and that because the pain had eased they would not do anything more.

The pain is now back and worse, the exercises and pain killers don’t touch it. My GP has referred me for physio again but I want to do something now so thought I’d see someone privately.

Any recommendations as to what kind of therapist would be best? Osteopath, physiotherapist or chiropractor?

Any of those if you get a good reference. Osteopaths aren't regulated as far as I know, so would only use one after a decent recommendation from someone I trusted

@justchecking1 thank you. I didn’t have a clue.

Osteopaths and chiropractors ate regulated. This might be useful:

@StCharlotte thank you. I’ll have a look. I didn’t want to go to the wrong person and need something sooner than I’ll get in the NHS.
