Improving Quality of Life
Since the beginning of time, human curiosity has been boundless. And all thanks to this curiosity, we have been learning and improving our knowledge in every field, including that of medical science. While healthcare has existed for as long as humans have, some fields of medicine are relatively new. We have explored new horizons in the field of medical science and now alternative medicine weighs just as much as conventional medicine. One such complementary medical field is osteopathy.
Osteopathy is a branch of alternative medicine focused on holistic treatment. It offers a drug-free, non-invasive, manual therapy that aims to treat issues spanning multiple organ systems. Unlike treating a singular condition and its manifestations, it treats the human body as a whole.Biomechanics – the study of motion in human beings – is the core idea of osteopathy and it is also on what osteopathic treatment techniques are based.
Additionally, osteopathy stands on four basic principles:
The body is a single unit; the mind and spirit are also its integral parts.
Structure and function are tied together, Function governs structure,it is impossible to achieve normal function if the structure is damaged.
The body has self-healing mechanisms andis capable of healing itself, provided that adequate nutrition is available.
Proper blood circulation is important to ensure healthy functioning.The rule of the artery is supreme.
It is of utmost importance that the mechanisms involved in the motion of the human body stay intact. To ensure that, it is crucial to understand that the body is a singular unit and every body part affects the other; mental health affects physical health and vice versa. Additionally, thestructure and function of a body part are interrelated andnormal structure is necessary for proper functioning.
While the human body is very susceptible to injury, it is also bestowed with self-healing power. However, to ensure this,normal fluid flow, be it blood or lymph is very important as itensures nutrition and eventually metabolism and repair work in the tissues. This is one of the four rules osteopathy is based on. Adequate movement leads to proper circulation and hence the normal functioning. This is why it is said in osteopathy that ‘the rule of the artery is supreme’. To summarize, any injury or risk factor that can lead to difficulty in motion, impairment of normal function and obstruction to normal fluid flow, or poor performance of the musculoskeletal system of the human body is dealt with under the umbrella of osteopathy.
Backache, migraine, arthritis, pregnancy-related issues, posture maintenance, and many other issues are treated at SWNW osteopathy. We believe in approaching these concerns in an empathetic yet professional way while employing a hand on approach to ensure our patients get only the best.
Apart from direct dealing with our patients, we also refer our patients to the concerned healthcare departments for their related health concerns that are beyond our field so they are provided with complete coverage of treatment for all their health issues.
