Osteopathy

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on treatment approach that focuses on the body as a whole. The Osteopathic Practitioner helps patients to achieve pain relief, gain better overall mobility, enhance organ health, reduce cranial sacral restrictions, and support their natural healing process.

What conditions do patient commonly seek osteopathic care for? 

  • Acute and chronic pain
  • Headaches and migraines
  • Pregnancy & fertility 
  • Sports and workplace injuries
  • Digestive & visceral issues
  • Postural and biomechanical dysfunction
  • Stress-related tension and fatigue

Osteopathic Treatment Modalities:

  • Gentle spinal alignment
  • Myofascial Remodeling Techniques (MRT)
  • Neurological manipulation
  • Visceral (organ) manipulation
  • Cranial sacral therapy

Osteopathy and Chiropractic Key Differences:

Both Chiropractors and Osteopathic Manual Practitioners focus on spinal alignment and joint mobility. Chiropractors primarily use high-velocity, low-amplitude spinal adjustments to correct joint dysfunction. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use joint mobilization and myofascial release techniques to reduce bodily tension. Both professions work well together as part of a patient’s circle of care.
