Everything you need to know about osteopathy
Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that
aims to improve health across all body systems by manipulating and
strengthening the musculoskeletal framework.
An osteopathic physician will focus on the joints, muscles,
and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory,
and lymphatic systems.
Manual medicine means that both diagnosis and treatment are
carried out with the hands.
Osteopathy is a complementary therapy. It is used alongside
conventional treatment to improve health. However, osteopathic physicians are
also qualified as medical doctors (MDs), and they have more training than other
complementary therapists, such as naturopaths. They specialize in osteopathy.
What is osteopathy?
Osteopathy takes a holistic, whole-body approach to
healthcare.
It uses manual ‘hands-on’ techniques to improve circulation
and correct altered biomechanics, without the use of drugs.
An osteopathic physician does not concentrate only on the
problem area, but uses manual techniques to balance all the body systems, and
to provide overall good health and wellbeing.
Diagnosing and treating conditions using these techniques is
called Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM).
Techniques include stretching, gentle pressure, and
resistance, known as osteopathic manipulative medicine.
