Our approach to osteopathy

Osteopathy is a hands-on or manipulative style of mainstream medicine to treat the bodys muscular-skeletal systems. Osteopathy can be used to evaluate and assist the diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions and aliments.

The use of palpation (touch) in osteopathy reveals inherent muscular-skeletal limitations within a patient. It is particularly effective for problems resulting from traumas, illness or surgery. The finely-tuned osteopathic feel is important for developing the right patient treatments for specific injuries or conditions.
