How Osteopathic Treatment Can Help?
At a glance: Understanding Osteopathic Treatment
Did you know that osteopathy is a form of healthcare that focuses on the connection between the bones, muscles, and organs in the body? It takes a holistic approach to healthcare that aims to promote overall wellness by treating the root cause of health problems, rather than just their symptoms.
As osteopaths, we are trained to identify and treat imbalances in the body that can cause pain or dysfunction. We use a combination of manual techniques, such as massage, stretching, and joint manipulation, to restore proper alignment and function to the musculoskeletal system. By doing so, the osteopathic approach can help relieve pain, improve mobility, and promote healing. We also encourage our patients to make lifestyle changes to improve their health.
While back pain is a common reason why people seek osteopathic treatment, osteopaths can also address a range of other health issues:
