Osteopathy


No drugs are used in the treatment of osteopathy which is viewed as an alternative therapy and one which is regarded as a ‘natural’ treatment.

Osteopathy is a branch of medicine concerned with diagnosing, treating, preventing and rehabilitating individuals with disorders of the musculoskeletal system. Another holistic therapy, osteopathy looks at the affect the disorder has on the patient’s overall health and well-being.

Neither drugs or surgery are encouraged by osteopaths who in fact believe the body can be encouraged to ‘right’ itself through either one single treatment, or a variety of applications, to the musculoskeletal system.

The approach is very much patient-centred whereby the patient is encouraged to reveal much about their entire lifestyle, taking into account hobbies, physical activities, working life, nutritional intake and psychological well-being, as well as their current and past medical history to date.

Osteopathy doesn’t focus on the patient’s symptoms but rather looks behind them to discern which parts of the body has caused the symptoms (pain) in the first place. All ages and types can benefit from osteopathy including a newborn infant, geriatric patients, pregnant women and athletes.

The osteopath treats his patients through manually guiding particular parts of the body. This may at times involve restricting certain muscle movements or pushing and pulling against particular joints.
