Osteopathy is the science and art of diagnosing and treating mobility dysfunctions of the tissues of the human body, which cause disorders and disturb the state of health of the organism.
Osteopathy mainly treats the most common musculoskeletal pathologies that occur in primary care consultations and hospital emergencies: low back pain, cervical pain, back pain, cervical and ankle sprains, omalgias (shoulder pain), tendinitis, arthritis and ultimately those common musculoskeletal conditions. It is also very effective in specific cases of migraines, vertigo, otitis, circulatory, digestive, endocrine, gynecological, urological, neurological, traumatological, etc. problems.
It also has good results in pediatrics, both in neonates and infants where the most frequent pathologies treated with pediatric osteopathy are: Plagiocephaly, torticollis, infant colic, sleep disturbances, irritability, constipation, scoliosis, brachial palsy, sprains, etc.
Substantially, there are three treatments in Osteopathy:
- Structuralwhich is especially aimed at disorders of bone, muscle and joint structures.
- Visceralwhich is interested in organs such as the liver, kidney, stomach...
- Cranialwhich insists on the notion of mobility of the cranial bones and addresses the development of the newborn, the child, as well as the functional disorders of the adult.
