Our Osteopathic Philosophy is simple: We believe that the human body has the inherent ability to heal itself when obstructions to health are removed. As such, we try and facilitate that natural healing process by listening to and understanding each patient’s particular needs and developing an individualized treatment plan that along with your specific home care enhances your results. With realities such as the demand for optimal health care that can address the underlying cause of the problem and not just treat symptoms, there is an increasing interest in osteopathic treatment and its approach to maintaining health and preventing disease. Osteopathy is a philosophy, an art and a science based on the application of sound principles. Osteopathic treatment is not just a set of techniques. Osteopathy considers the person as a whole, including external factors such as stress, exercise, diet and environment in an approach to achieving and maintaining good health. It recognizes that all the systems of the body are interrelated and interdependent, and that disturbances in one system can affect the others. It applies these principles with a sound and thorough knowledge of anatomy and physiology. An osteopathic treatment integrates diagnosis (assessment) which reflects the condition of the body and manipulation to restore structural freedom in the tissues, biomechanical imbalance, and enhance fluid flow throughout the body, therefore creating the optimal setting for healing to occur.
“Osteopathy should not be defined by its manual techniques but rather, by the application of its philosophy”.
