Osteopathy
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a manual medicine whose therapeutic purpose is to restore the mobility and functions of the body by treating the causes of pain, symptoms and functional disorders. For this, the osteopath uses the quality and the fineness of his palpation to detect the position, the mobility and the quality of the tissues. The goal of the osteopath is to re-set the body structures (bones, joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, organs, viscera, cranial sutures, etc.) that have reduced mobility. Once it is restored, it allows a release of blood and lymphatic circulation and promotes metabolic exchange
Here are some examples of problems that can be treated by osteopathy:
- Fall or physical trauma
- Sports injuries
- Stress or emotional shock
- Headaches and migraines
- Sciatic nerve
- Tendonitis and bursitis
- Sprain and strain
