Osteopathy New Findings Research Articles

            Osteopathy is a non-invasive, manual, drug-free therapy that aims to improve health in all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal system. Osteopaths will focus on the joints, muscles, and spine. The purpose of this treatment is to positively affect the body's nervous system, circulation and lymphatics. Osteopathy is a way to identify, treat and prevent health problems by moving, stretching, and massaging a person's muscles and joints. Osteopathy is based on the principle that a person's well-being depends on bones, muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that work together smoothly. Osteopath uses physical manipulation, stretching and massage to increase joint flexibility, relieve muscle tension, increase blood circulation, supply tissue and support the body in healing. They use a number of techniques, but not treatment or surgery. Some osteopaths claim that they can treat diseases that are not directly related to muscles, bones, and joints, such as headaches, migraines, periods of pain, indigestion, depression, and excessive crying in infants (colic). Parts of osteopathy such as craniosacral therapy have no therapeutic value and are called pseudoscience.
