Understanding Osteopathy: A Guide to Holistic Pain Management
What Is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a hands-on healthcare approach that focuses on the body’s interconnected systems. At Avalon Health & Wellness, we use osteopathy to address pain, improve mobility, and promote overall wellness.
The Principles of Osteopathy
Osteopathy is built on three core principles:
The Body as a Unit: Mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and must work together for optimal health.
Structure and Function: The body’s structure (muscles, bones, and tissues) impacts its function, and vice versa.
Self-Healing Mechanisms: The body has an innate ability to heal itself when properly supported.
Conditions Osteopathy Can Treat
Osteopathy can provide relief for a wide range of conditions, including:
Chronic and acute back pain
Headaches and migraines
Sciatica
Sports injuries
Pregnancy-related discomfort
Arthritis and joint pain
