Osteopathy looks for the root cause of the problem, rather than treating the symptoms. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners examine the complex interconnectedness of the whole body’s main systems, taking all the moving parts into consideration during assessment and treatment. By restoring harmony within the body, Osteopathy promotes proper function of nerve, artery, vein and lymphatic systems.
OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is a gentle form of manual therapy based on the philosophy that the body is a dynamic unit of function
MORE INFORMATION ON OSTEOPATHY
The Osteopathic Manual Practitioner's ability to assess position, mobility, and vitality of all tissues from superficial to deep, helps to determine areas of restriction in joints, muscles, fascia, and nervous tissue. Palpation of tissues and physiological rhythms allow for non-invasive analysis to determine the best treatment course.
Osteopathy is a natural therapy based on removing the underlying causes of pain and illness, rather than managing symptoms. Osteopathic Manual Therapy utilizes three principles to guide their practice; the body is a dynamic unit, the body is self-healing, and structure and function are interrelated.
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners treat those experiencing wide array of dysfunctions such as:
-
Inflammation based conditions such as arthritis, Edema and swelling
-
Digestive complaints (IBS, constipation, diarrhea)
-
Back, neck and joint pain
-
Headaches, concussions and TMJ disorders
-
Muscle tension and strain
-
Vertigo
-
Sinus problems and congestion
-
Postural dysfunction
-
Neurological conditions
-
Manual Osteopathic Practitioners are educated and trained to work exclusively without the use of drugs or surgery by using manual methods for structural assessment and treatment.
