Description
Osteopath embraces the philosophy that the body has an innate, natural ability to self-regulate and to heal itself. Based on patient’s health issues and concerns, our Osteopathic Manual Practitioners will provide suitable treatments as well as proactive self-practice programs.
While the national health services of some countries consider there is “good” evidence for osteopathy as a treatment for low back pain and “limited evidence to suggest it may be effective for some types of neck, shoulder or lower limb pain and recovery after hip or knee operations”, there is little, or insufficient, evidence that osteopathy is effective as a treatment for health conditions “unrelated” to the bones and muscles, “such as headaches, migraines, painful periods, digestive disorders, depression and excessive crying in babies (colic)”; an explicit reference to the claims of osteopathic manipulative medicine. Others have concluded that osteopathic style manipulation “failed to produce compelling evidence” for efficacy in treating musculoskeletal pain.
