Using skilled evaluation, diagnosis and a wide range of hands-on techniques, certain dysfunctions can be identified in your body. Osteopathy does not only address the individual injury or disorder but furthermore focuses on the underlying cause to avoid future recurrence. Osteopathic manual practitioners commence treatment by taking a comprehensive case history, accompanied by detailed physical examination incorporating postural and movement assessment, along with specialized orthopedic muscle and joint tests, as needed. Using a highly developed sense of touch, called palpation, the osteopath uses their hands to identify any points of weakness or excessive strain throughout the body. Osteopathic manual practitioners do not simply concentrate on treating the problem area, but use manual techniques to balance all the systems of the body to provide optimal health and wellbeing. Ultimately, there is reduced pain and greater mobility which allows the body to heal itself. Osteopathic treatment is tailored to the requirements of the individual patient, and techniques are selected which are appropriate to the patient’s needs. Osteopathic techniques may include soft tissue massage and mobilisation (muscles, tendons and ligaments), gentle joint manipulation and articulation, muscle energy techniques and varied indirect osteopathic techniques. All techniques aim to restore balance and function to the body allowing healing to occur quickly.

Acupuncture uses electrically conductive needles to directly interface with the peripheral nervous system in order to manipulate sensory and motor function, as well as sympathetic and parasympathetic activity. Acupuncture treatments are highly effective for pain relief, treating muscle weakness caused by chronic or acute injuries, general rehabilitation, as well as weight loss. Acupuncture for lower back, facial acupuncture are some of the most popular holistic medicine services we offer.
