OSTEOPATHY

​

According to Phillipe Druelle, D.O., Osteopathy is “a natural medicine which aims to restore function in the body by treating the causes of pain and imbalance. To achieve this goal the Osteopathic Manual Practitioner relies on the quality and finesse of his/her palpation and works with the position, mobility and quality of the tissues.” This holistic manual therapy finds the source of the dysfunction and removes the barriers so that the body is able to heal and self-regulate

 

Osteopathic Treatment works with all of the systems in the body, such as the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, cranial and, visceral systems. . Osteopathic manual therapy is effective in the treatment of acute or chronic pain and injuries as well as conditions such as but not limited to migraines, concussions, sinusitis, TMJ dysfunction and digestive problems. Osteopathic treatments are generally gentle and non-invasive and are therefore suitable for patients of all ages which includes babies, children and the elderly.
