WHAT IS OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE?
Osteopathy is a hands on, manual therpy aimed at regaining proper functioning of the body. When a body is not in proper alignment it loses its ability to heal itself, and becomes susceptible to disease. By correcting alignment issues, the body regains its ability to move in the direction of optimal health.
Virtually all health conditions may benefit from a visit to an osteopath. Some of the most common disorders include:
- Neck and back pain, headaches & migrains
- Sciatica, joint pain, traumatic injury and overuse injuries
- Pediatric health such as chronic ear infections
- Pregnancy and post-partum depression
- A multitude of other, less obvious disorders
WHAT TO EXPECT AT A VISIT
A typical visit lasts 1 hour. Many different techniques may be used; overall the treatment is very gentle, leaving the patient very relaxed.
Inquire as to whether your extended health plan may cover the services.
