Grateful to have been invited to present at Origyns Obstetrics Reproductive Integrated Gynecology Clinic (https://origynsmedical.com/) this past week.

We presented the most recent research supporting the benefits of Osteopathic Visceral Manipulation for the care of endometriosis, painful periods, ovarian cysts, and pelvic pain.

There was high level discussion of pain mechanisms and treatment methods. It was a great opportunity to connect with incredible specialists in women's health care.

Always good to make these connections to strengthen the support and care offered to the female identifying population.

Did you know that sciatica is a symptom, and not a condition? It can be treated so you can live without lower back, hip and thigh pain.

The actual cause of sciatica is most commonly an underlying injury to the intervertebral disc, or an irritation to a nerve in the lower back.

A qualified physiotherapist can effectively assess the lower back, and hips and perform special tests to identify the specific cause of the lower back and sciatica symptoms.

Once the cause of the pain has been identified, the physiotherapist can perform manual therapy and prescribe highly specific home exercises to eliminate the pain and improve function. They can also show you how to reduce the likelihood of the problem returning.

Physiotherapist Bhavika Shah has extensive training and experience in identifying the source of lower back pain and sciatica. It doesn’t matter if the pain is new and acute, or chronic and long-standing.

If you have lower back pain or pain in the hip, buttock or thigh, it's worth finding the solution.

Book your appointment now to start your recovery.

After 16 1/2 years, the amazing Emily Roik is off to a brand new adventure.

From day one—literally the very first day our clinic opened in 2008—Emily has been our rock, our compass, and our resident party planner-in-chief. Her fingerprints are all over the things we’re most proud of: from our welcoming vibe to the way we’ve weathered life’s curveballs like the pandemic and two floods!

With her keen attention to detail, her incredible organizational skills, and friendliness, Emily helped build not just a clinic, but a community. She made sure every birthday sparkled with pizazz, every milestone was marked, and every tough day made a little easier. She’s been the calm in the chaos and the confetti in our celebrations.

Our entire team and the amazing people we care for have been lucky to have worked with such a talent for so long a period of time. While we’re sad to see her time at the clinic has ended, we’re also thrilled for her to start her new adventure. Undoubtedly, her determination, adaptability and resourcefulness will help her excel in her new role.

We offer giant buckets of gratitude and glittery sprinkles of appreciation for the 1 million things she’s done over the last 16 1/2 years that made everyone’s lives so much better. It goes without saying she has a standing invitation to drop in so we can catch up and hear about her most recent successes.

Emily, thanks most of all, for being you! 🌺⭐️🌸
Gratefully yours,
The OOSTlings

Research is showing that pelvic pain can be caused by tight connective tissue in the abdomen. Osteopathy can help by reducing the tension in these tissues through gentle manual therapy, leading to significant improvements in pain.

Pauline Costa and Carl Teychene have in-depth experience in women’s health, and are available to address pelvic and abdominal pain through evidence-based osteopathy treatment.
