Osteopathy is a form of holistic medicine that focuses on restoring and maintaining physical well being. Through the use of non-invasive, manual techniques that manipulate the body’s musculoskeletal framework, osteopathic treatments aim to support the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems in order to correct imbalances that are believed to diminish the body’s ability to heal itself are at the root cause of discomfort, disease and illness.
Despite its name, which essentially means sick bones, osteopathy doesn’t focus solely on bone health. Based on the belief that a healthy body is capable of healing and defending itself against infections and toxins, osteopathy seeks to correct any misalignment of bones, muscles, ligaments or tissues that compromise this self-healing ability.
The theory is simple: in order for the body to remain in good health, all parts of your body must function together properly and harmoniously. If one part of your body is restricted, the remainder of body compensates for that restriction and that compensation may lead to stiffness, inflammation, discomfort, headaches or infection. Doctors of osteopathy (DOs) focus their attention on the musculoskeletal system and its influence on how other bodily systems function.
