What is an Osteopath you might ask, and how could it help you?
Osteopathy provides a gentle way of relieving pain and stiffness without any need for medication and invasive treatments like surgery. The only person who cannot benefit from osteopathy is the dead one!
The treatment option has many benefits compared with the other treatment options. Osteopath practitioners identify, assess, and treat the body rhythm and structures using gentle hands on approach. The basic technique is known as osteopathic palpation. Manual practitioners spend many years developing the gentle touch technique which makes the treatment option different from the others.
The most obvious osteopathy benefit is its ability to treat the pain you experience in a way which considers you as a person and your body. You can effectively use osteopathy to reduce and to cure pain which you experience in different parts of your body. You might walk into an osteopathic clinic with a hurting back and walk out experiencing no pain.
Minimizing/relieving pain resulting from chronic illness
If you are a person suffering a chronic illness such as arthritis, asthma, and irritable bowel syndrome, you can highly benefit from osteopathic treatments. Your osteopath can treat you in a way that alleviates all the symptoms even when they cannot cure the disease itself. This is a great advantage especially if the disease causes you to have many symptoms that can prevent you from proceeding with your day to day activities or hobbies. And you shouldn’t allow the disease to affect the quality of your life.
Reoccurring pain
After recovering from an acute condition or an injury, you can rely on osteopathy to prevent the disease re-occurrence. For instance, if you have just recovered from a period knee pain, an osteopath can work to strengthen all the structures supporting your knees and retaining the mobility in your joints. This prevents you from injuring your knees in a similar manner. Moreover, if you have never experienced any injury, but have a hobby or a lifestyle which puts you on a risk, then you can rely on osteopathy to reduce the injury occurrence. If you are a person who drives for longer periods of time an osteopath can treat you in a way that will prevent you from developing back pain.
Relaxation/Stress Relief
Osteopathy provides you with more benefits since it offers you an opportunity to think about your body and yourself. In fact, you will find all your consultations extremely relaxing. Osteopathy is also widely known for reducing stress levels by increasing your body systems efficiency. The body systems include blood flow, the immune system, and the nerve supply.
