Osteopathy

Osteopathy is an approach to Healthcare that uses gentle manipulation to rebalance the entire body. It seeks to identify areas of the body that are restricted or constricted, then gently ease these ailments allowing normal function to resume.

Not only is the original source of the patients' problem found and addressed, but all 'compensations' arising out of the problem are also addressed. Osteopathy is especially beneficial for the treatment of acute and chronic pain from injuries and other long standing health disorders.

Patients participate in their own healing process by taking an active part in their recovery. As part of a treatment plan, an Osteopathic Practitioner may recommend one or more lifestyle changes which are important for a patient to adhere to, thus collaborating with the Practitioner to achieve the best possible results. This may mean changing an exercise regime, making different dietary choices or changing habits and behaviors linked to the problematic issue.

It is our firm belief that patients should be treated with the utmost care, provided in the fewest number of visits possible. Patients do not and will not receive unnecessary treatment, however it is incumbent upon the patient to continue with any prescribed treatment even after seeing an improvement in symptoms.
