Osteopathy

OSTEOPATHY is a way of detecting, treating, and preventing health problems by using manual ‘hands-on’ techniques like manipulating, stretching, strengthening, and massaging to improve circulation and correct altered biomechanics without the use of drugs. It focuses on the health of the whole body, not just the injured or affected part. The osteopathic doctor focuses on the joints, muscles, and spine.
