Osteopathy is an exclusively hands-on therapy that helps re-balance a person’s structure and improving body function. It uses gentle and safe techniques that are adapted to each patient, depending on age, sex, and general health. The frequency of the sessions is highly variable: it depends on each case and the severity of the patient's issue.
The Musculoskeltal System
Osteopathy is effective for all problems involving the vertebral column (upper, middle, or lower back pain; pelvic imbalance; scoliosis; sciatic pain; etc.) It also helps treat more distant problems such as epicondylitis and hip, knee, ankle, and foot problems.
The Visceral Organs
Osteopathy has good results with treating acute or chronic digestive problems, liver and intestinal problems, and hernias. Some gynecological disorders also respond well to ostepathy. You should always have appropriate medical examinations.
The Cranium
Sometimes osteopathy can alleviate migraines and headaches. It can also help with sensory problems such as strabismus in children, sinusitis, nasopharyngeal problems, inflammation of the ear, etc.
Other Problems
Osteopathy may be helpful for fatigue, periods of exhaustion, mild depression, stress, and other conditions.
