Founded in 1874, Osteopathy is a form of manual therapy that emphasizes the relationship between the structure and function of the human body. This therapy follows a belief in the body’s ability to self-heal and self-regulate. Using various principle based manual techniques, practitioners focus on facilitating the health of joints and muscles through adjustment, helping to strengthen the framework of the body. When you fall ill or are in pain, there is/are obstructions that don’t allow your body’s natural healing capabilities to do their job. These obstructions can be mal-alignments in your bones, muscles, fascia or ligamentous structures that impede the flow of the nerves and blood – that gives life. It could also be the lymphatics or the drainage (veins) – which take away metabolic waste. Osteopathic practitioners use a variety of principle-based manual techniques in order to reduce or remove these restrictions to restore the normal physiological function of the entire body, which allows the body to start the healing process.
Using our knowledge of anatomy, mechanics, and physiology, we assess the patient and use our structural findings in order to coordinate with the symptoms the patient may be experiencing. This allows us to form a complete picture, aiding in effectively assessing and finding the root cause of the patient’s illness, discomfort, or pain. Our goal is to treat the “why”, not the symptom.
