Osteopathy is an alternative medicine that emphasizes the physical manipulation of the body’s muscle tissue and bones. Osteopaths understand that the site of a patient’s complaint may not necessarily correspond to the site of symptoms. Hence, Osteopaths specialize in assessing and treating the whole patient, considering the mental, emotional, and physical aspects of one’s overall health.
How do Osteopaths treat injuries?
Osteopathy is a drug-free, noninvasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, including the joints, muscles, and spine.
