What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathic therapy is both a natural medicine and a treatment philosophy that applies the knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the body to treat disease, disorder, and dysfunction. Osteopaths use their hands to identify the cause of the problem and restore order in all systems: the musculoskeletal (muscles and bones), respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, reproductive, or nervous systems.
Osteopathic manual therapy focuses on assessing, diagnosing, and treating disorders using adjustments and gentle movements of the joints or organs to correct imbalances. The focus of osteopathic assessment and treatment is to find any obstruction that blocks the circulation of fluids within the body. By restoring proper mechanics to the body, our osteopathic manual therapist, Mindy allows the normal flow of fluids and improves function, which helps reduce pain and improves well-being.
