About us

At The Essex Osteopathic Clinic, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our clinic was founded with the mission to provide compassionate, professional, and effective osteopathic care to help people regain control of their health and well-being.

Thanks to The Essex Osteopathic Clinic, my back pain is finally under control. Their tailored approach and care have been life-changing. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

The Essex Osteopathic Clinic is a family-run practice led by James and Lucia di Cicco, both experienced osteopaths who share a passion for helping people live pain-free, healthy lives. With over 20 years of combined experience, we have helped countless patients recover from musculoskeletal issues and achieve their physical goals.

James di Cicco

M.ost

James has a master’s degree in Osteopathy. He graduated from the British College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2013 and is also qualified in dry needling.
He has experience treating a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions and treating chronic and acute back pain, sports injuries, knee injuries/pain and shoulder injuries. He has a keen interest in rehab and prehab, along with a focus on functional movement.

James started his full-time working life as a shipping clerk, but soon realised that being sat at a desk was not for him. He wanted a career where he could work more closely with people and help them with their personal health problems. Osteopathy was the best fit for his desire to help people recover their health and mobility, looking at the body as a whole.

James enjoys mountain biking in both local and national woodlands and resistance training. He has a passion for nutrition and is a keen photographer. As an active father of two young children he enjoys time with family and friends.
