WHAT DOES AN OSTEOPATH TREAT? DIRECTIONS:

Following a medical examination, were you told that you had nothing? Yet you have many symptoms! Where there’s smoke, there’s fire! No pain without causes! Your osteopath can help you better understand the causes of your ailment.

Would it have been more accurate and clear to have been told that in your case medical imaging did not detect any damage? Let us tell you that we cannot explain the reason for your discomfort? Osteopathy offers a different angle.

Fortunately the osteopath has other means of investigation through consultation. Instrumentalized medical examinations have limits. They do not always make it possible to highlight a lesion or an anomaly, which would explain the pain or dysfunction felt.

What an Osteopath Does

Osteopathic treatment consists of a preliminary assessment of your condition and symptoms, followed by manual therapy to treat the ailments identified during the anamnesis. Consulting an osteopath, and participating in an osteopathy session can have an impact on certain dysfunctions, relieve functional disorders, and have benefits on the quality of life, and the restoration of the body’s balance.

The osteopath often successfully treats these kinds of so-called “functional” problems, and many other diseases and conditions. The indications and benefits of this approach are very numerous. After training in osteopathy, based on in-depth knowledge of the systems of the human body, these health professionals are able to carry out a complete and comprehensive assessment for people of all ages, and for different types of symptoms and conditions.
