Jerome is an Australian-trained osteopath who works from Shop 5 at 1 John Street in Balclutha, next to Bay Audiology. The website says he treats aches and pains, sprains and strains, spinal conditions and a range of musculoskeletal injuries, using a personalised mix of techniques. He is ACC registered and can lodge a claim for an accident injury, and his website says ACC pays a share of the fees. He also treats babies from the first weeks of life, using very light treatment. Initial appointments run 45 minutes, and return visits are 30 minutes, or 45 minutes for complicated conditions. In Dunedin, he visits homes by prior arrangement only. Bookings are made through the online tool.
Reviewers describe Jerome as helpful, friendly and professional, and say he explains things thoroughly and makes sure the patient understands. One has had relief from pain that they lived with for more than six years. Another says he has helped them manage aches and pains, and a third recommends him for aches, pains and strains. The website says he runs close to schedule, with the first few minutes of history, then an examination and about 30 minutes of treatment.
