ABOUT OSTEOPATHY
Osteopathy is an established recognized system of diagnosis and treatment, which lays its main
emphasis on the structural and functional integrity of the body. It is distinctive by the fact
that it recognizes that much of the pain and disability which we suffer stems from abnormalities
in the function of the body structure as well as damage caused to it by disease.
Osteopathy takes advantage of the body's natural tendency to strive toward a state of health
and homeostasis. The skull protects the delicate tissues of the brain. The moving bones of the
spine protect the vulnerable communication pathways of the spinal cord and nerve roots.
If the nervous system is impaired in any way, it can cause malfunction of the tissues and organs
throughout the body.
The Osteopath is trained to palpate (feel) the body's "living anatomy" (i.e. flow of fluids, motion and
texture of tissues, and structural makeup). They address health problems with a non-invasive
system of medicine called, "Osteopathic Manual Medicine" in order to restore normal function
in areas impaired by trauma, chronic illness, acute health problems, etc.
Osteopathic manipulation has been proven to increase motion, increase circulation,
reduce swelling and pain, and remove nervous irritation. Once this nervous irritation is
removed, your body is able to do what it is designed to do - heal itself.
WHY CHOOSE OSTEOPATHY
Increasingly, patients are recognizing the narrow scope of conventional pharmaceutical
based medicine and further problems associated with side-effects and short-term symptomatic fixes.
These same patients are turning to Osteopaths as their practitioner of choice,
recognizing that a Doctor of Osteopathy offers a variety of non invasive healing
treatments not available from allopathic doctors.
Long before it was fashionable, Osteopaths advised their patients that the "best drugs" are
contained within the body's immune system.
