OSTEOPATHY

Osteopathy is a drug-free, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve health across all body system by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework.
An osteopathic physician will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. Treatment aims to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems.
It uses manual ‘hands-on’ techniques to improve circulation and correct altered biomechanics, without the use of drugs.
Techniques include stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance, known as osteopathic manipulative medicine.
