Traditional Osteopathy

"Osteopathy is based on the perfection of Nature's work. When all parts of the human body are in line we have health. When they are not the effect is disease. When the parts are readjusted disease gives place to health." - A. T. Still D.O. discoverer of Osteopathy.

Science of Human Mechanics

 

Osteopathy is a science of human physiology and mechanics, employing a system of diagnosis and treatment of the person as a whole.

 

Life is Motion

 

The osteopathic physician is most concerned with free motion and alignment of the body framework and its relationship to organ function, circulation, and the nervous system.

 

Osteopaths see ailments as involving some restriction in the free function and motion of bones, tissues, organs, and fluids, in the patient.

 

Health is within - Nature heals

 

As Osteopaths, we see the structure of the body and how it functions are inextricably linked, and that each person contains within themselves the resources for necessary health.

 

The Whole is constantly moving towards health

 

We maintain that the body functions as a whole. The body, mind, and spirit operate as a unified whole, continually moving towards health. That is how we heal. That is why we called our clinic "movement towards health".

 

Osteopathy considers not only the physical, environmental, and nutritional causes of ailments, but the emotional and mental as well. For example environmental stressors and their effect on the neuro-endocrine-immune system.
