The Drug-Free, Non-invasive Manual Medicine Known as Osteopathy
Doctors who practice osteopathy believe in treating the body by strengthening the musculoskeletal portions of the body, which include the joints, the spine and the muscles. The goal of osteopathy is to have a positive affect upon the body's circulatory system, lymphatic systems, and on the nervous system.
Back Pain Treatment
|
During pregnancy common complaints that are addressed by
osteopathy are upper backache and lower backache, buttock pain,
sciatica, hamstring pain, foot ache, shoulder pain, chest pain,
neck ache, headaches, and arm aches. There are plenty of postural
changes that occur during pregnancy due to the increase in volume
and weight that is distributed up front. The center of
gravity moves forward. This can cause the woman to experience a
dull backache. Tendonitis can occur in the muscles of the lower
back and upper spine and ribs.
After delivery of the baby the abdomen decreases in size and
weight but the breasts usually double or triple in size putting new
demands on the body and creating still more postural changes that
can lead to aches and pains.
Common sports related injuries that have been addressed in
osteopathic medicine are chronic neck pain; lower or upper back
pain, chronic leg or arm pain, and knee injuries. It is possible to
treat sports injuries without surgery.
Osteopathic treatment of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis
has the purpose of improving stiffness and restoring joint mobility
at the same time as reducing swelling and pain. Through osteopathy
treatment it is often possible to decrease reliance on medications
reducing the possible side effects of using these medications.
The process of being born is often a traumatic one in which a
huge amount of stress can be placed on the small body. There is a
large amount of contractile pressure being placed on the baby's
body during the birth process. Common reasons why babies and young
children are seen by osteopathy are infant colic, constant crying,
reflux or regurgitation of stomach contents, misshapen head, sleep
difficulties, constipation, feeding problems and for a normal post
partum check up.
Young children and older children may also benefit from
osteopathy for Glue ear, and musculoskeletal effects of asthma, for
poor concentration, sinusitis, and for growing pains or sports
injuries.

The best vodka martinis (extra dry) in the area.. by far! I have been suffering from constant lower back pain, following a sports injury, for over 10 years now. Some days the pain is so severe I can hardly walk.
