One of the core principles of Osteopathy emphasizes the importance of alignment, and how when in proper position, a body can experience better health. When a body part is not able to move well, circulation and neurological innervation is compromised, eventually leading to pain, illness or possibly disease. Osteopathic therapists study the anatomy and physiology extensively to identify areas of concern and in turn, treat the patient as a whole body.
Osteopaths commonly treat:
- Neck pain
- Back pain
- Sciatica
- TMJ (jaw) dysfunction
- MVA injuries
- Repetitive strains
- Sports-related injuries
- Prenatal/Postnatal issues
- Women’s health (ex. menstrual pain)
- Digestive issues
- Respiratory issues (ex. post COVID symptoms)
- Headaches/Migraines
- Tinnitus
- Post surgical recovery (ex. scar work)
