How Can Osteopathy Help Me?
Very often dysfunctions of the body are caused by mechanical, whether traumatic or postural stresses which produce tension within the muscle and pull on fascias surrounding it. This impacts the movement of fluids of the body such as blood and lymph, as well as passage of nerve impulses, which is essential for maintaining homeostasis.
This lack of motion and impaired circulation creates diminished removal of waste products, which creates further congestion and impedes supply of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. Consequently, the body starts reacting to it and various symptoms such as discomfort, stiffness, tightness and pain may emerge.
Osteopathic practitioner use their hands to discover those areas and uses his knowledge of anatomy and physiology to make decisions on how to assess and treat.

How Does Osteopathy Work?
It is based on few principles:
- Body has the ability to heal itself. By removing the cause of the malfunctioning, the body is able to takes over and heals itself, just like it heals by itself if you cut yourself. It does not need any medication, nor creams. So, unless it gets exposed to dirt, too much water or you keep pulling the parts apart preventing the ends to stay together. Hence, the osteopathic practitioner uses her manual skills to detect areas of congestion and dysfunction and then by applying osteopathic tools, based on the physiology of your body, it helps your body to restore its own healing capacity.
- All body parts are connected and interrelated, hence they have an influence on each other. Often, the pain you might feel in one part of the body very often is caused by a problem somewhere else. For example, if you have sciatica problem, you may have the pain all the way down your leg, but the problem is actually created by the herniated disk compressing your sciatic nerve coming out of your low back. Or, people having heart attack frequently experience pain in their left shoulder, down the arm or even in their jaw.
- Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated, which means that if you have pressure on one organ or any body part, its function will be impaired, sooner or later. Osteopathy searches for those areas and creates space for the organ to resume its natural motion and is able to receive adequate nutrients via unobstructed blood vessels and nerve impulse from unobstructed nerve which leads to restoration of its function. For example, if you have a problem, and you keep taking medication for it, but the organ which is supposed to receive the benefit is undernourished due to the pressure on the blood vessels and nerves, it will not be able to receive the full benefit, just because it can’t reach its destination.
- The body is a unit, and the person represents a combination of body, mind and spirit. Osteoapthy takes into consideration all aspects of your presence.In optimal conditions, the body is able to take care of itself, to compensate for minor injuries and to self heal. In some instances, the injury is greater than the body’s ability to adapt or heal. The pain is usually a first sign, the only way your body can tell you that is no longer capable of compensating and needs your attention and correction.By using osteopathic principles we work on restoring its balance where body regains its inherent ability to heal itself.
