What can osteopathy do for me?
Osteopathy is a complementary therapy that can provide relief and treatment for a wide range of conditions. Osteopathic physicians focus on the joints, muscles, and spine, and treatment aims to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems. Osteopathic intervention can help treat arthritis, back pain, headaches, tennis elbow, digestive issues, postural problems due to pregnancy, sports injury, driving or work strain, and neuralgia. Osteopathy can also assist with sleep cycles and the nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic symptoms. Because of osteopathy’s gentle treatment approach, anyone can benefit from the treatments. Treatments are safe, effective, and relaxing, and people who receive osteopathic treatment are more likely to have an increase in vitality, more energy, better sleep, better elimination of toxins, and better overall health and wellness in their bodies
What to expect during an osteopathic treatment
By treating the root cause, osteopaths aim to promote long-term healing and prevent future issues. Osteopathic physicians heal by strengthening and manipulating the muscles and other features that make up the framework of your body.
The work of an osteopath focuses on the muscles, joints, and spine. Specific techniques may include soft tissue manipulation, positional release techniques, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, osteopathic articular technique, visceral manipulation, muscle energy techniques, strain-counterstrain, craniosacral techniques, neuromuscular techniques, and trigger points.
During an osteopathic treatment, the osteopath will use their hands to assess and treat your body, using a wide array of manual approaches to reduce and resolve strains, stress, and dysfunction in all areas of the body. The goal is to remove restrictions to vascular, neural, and biomechanical mechanisms and ultimately support the natural healing mechanism by promoting autoregulation.
