Osteopathy
What does osteopathy treat?
Osteopathy is based on the doctrine of the anatomical and functional unity of the human body. Maintaining good health is only possible if the work of the whole organism is oriented correctly. Osteopathic techniques differ from conventional manual therapy methods in their gentleness, precision, variety and complete safety. They allow you to use the body's reserves and start the self-healing process.
Osteopathy helps to completely cope with such problems as:
- Muscle tension, spasms
- Blood circulation and lymph exchange disorders
- Hormonal imbalances in the body
- Metabolic disorders
- Nervous system malfunctions
- Displacement of internal organs
- Changes in the spine, hernias and protrusions, vertebral displacement
- Back pain and pain in the lower back and neck
- Headaches
- Frequent colds in a child
With such symptoms, an osteopathic doctor prescribes an osteopathy session. If the problems are eliminated, many diseases can be successfully combated. Manual therapy and osteopathy are often used in combination with the treatment of diseases. The procedure can also be performed to relieve acute symptoms. Our specialist will simply work out various tensions and disturbances in the body’s functioning.
In particular, we treat:
- Disturbances in the musculoskeletal system

Osteopathy can help with back pain during pregnancy and health problems after childbirth. Osteopathic treatment sessions also promote speedy recovery from injuries. Your attending physician, neurologist, or therapist can refer you to an osteopathic doctor.
An osteopathic doctor at an osteopathy clinic evaluates the body as a single system, where all structures are closely interconnected and influence Each other. If the functioning of any part of the body is upset, this means that three components are disrupted: position, mobility and innervation. Main directions of osteopathy:
Structural osteopathy. These are manipulations aimed at correcting the musculoskeletal system: restoring joint mobility, relieving muscle pain, eliminating hernias and curvatures in the spine
Visceral osteopathy. Aimed at normalizing the functioning of internal organs, fixing them in the correct position. Visceral osteopathy helps with circulatory disorders, for rehabilitation after injuries and operations
Cranial osteopathy (craniosacral therapy). Indicated for cranial (cranial) dysfunctions. The doctor corrects the structures of the skull - sutures, bones and membranes, thereby restoring the normal functioning of the central nervous system
All osteopathic doctors working in our medical center have higher education and extensive practical experience. Manual correction is carried out after a thorough diagnosis. First, the doctor determines the sequence of occurrence of disorders, and then restores the position, mobility and innervation of damaged organs and structures, optimizes blood circulation. As a result, all body systems begin to work in a balanced manner. After an osteopathy session, pain is relieved, internal organs are put into place, the sensitivity of the hands and feet improves.
Methods of treatment in osteopathy
An osteopath treats pain syndromes of various localizations. Using his hands, the doctor acts on the joints, muscles, ligaments and affected organs, restoring the normal functioning of the body. Many people don't see the difference in the work of a chiropractor and osteopathic doctor, but it exists. If the first one is found in a certain part of the body violation and eliminates it (for example, sets displaced vertebrae), then the second one looks for the cause of this violation. An unresolved cause inevitably leads to the same problem.
There are differences in the techniques of osteopathy and manual therapy. An osteopath works by gently influencing the patient’s body. The entire session is absolutely painless. An osteopath has many more therapeutic techniques than a chiropractor, which means the range of problems on which he works is wider. The specialist works the muscles, affects the internal organs, spine and its parts, hip joints using a delicate massage without pain.
An osteopath uses two main methods: direct and indirect influence. Each method includes a large number of techniques. The technique is always selected individually. The direct method (massage) involves influencing an organ or tissue using your hands. The indirect method excludes any manipulation and is based on maximum tissue relaxation and relief of stiffness.
An osteopathic doctor uses pressure, twisting and stretching in his treatment methods. Gentle massage generally causes positive changes for the whole body. Manual therapy and osteopathy after injuries and operations are especially important. Together with medical treatment, the patient is helped to recover faster.
