Osteopathy is a non-invasive and drug-free method of treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework (which includes your spine, muscles, and joints) to ensure overall health and well-being. It uses a system of treatment and diagnosis for a variety of different medical conditions. Osteopathy's philosophy is what makes it unique from other disciplines. It works based on the principle that your well-being depends on the smooth and integrated function of all your ligaments, connective tissues, muscles, and bones. If there is a restriction in one part of the body, then the rest of the body tends to compensate and adapt to it, leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and other conditions.
Osteopathic
treatments in Surrey can provide a complete diagnosis of your disease through
its unique holistic approach to health. Specialists do not merely focus on
treating the problem areas but also utilise manual techniques to balance all
your body's systems. Osteopathic treatment seeks to minimise pain, promote
greater mobility, allow your body to heal naturally itself and reduce stress.
Osteopaths
examine your posture and the ways that you move your body in different motions.
They may assess what occurs when they move a specific part of your body and
determine where and what hurts—and when it hurts. They use a variety of
non-invasive and gentle manual techniques, like soft tissue techniques,
manipulation, and joint articulation to minimise tissue tension and restore
joint movement.
Osteopathic
treatment may not be appropriate for certain conditions. Hence, osteopaths may
recommend further clinical tests, such as an MRI or x-rays. It is important to remember that osteopathic
treatment is not a preventative measure in itself. Osteopaths respect your
body's ability to self-regulate, so they only recommend osteopathy when
discomfort and pain are present and becomes unbearable. Consult with a certified
osteopath in Surrey to determine if this is the right treatment for your
joint problems. Otherwise, they may recommend other treatments, like
acupuncture dry needling, Graston technique, and active release technique.
