Osteopathic Approach

The osteopathic approach based on one of its principles that the human body functions as  one unit, and  that all structures are connected, therefore decompressing the spine cannot have a long lasting effect if compromising structures affecting the spine are not addressed as well.

Osteopathy  with a fine touch, focuses not only on the spine itself, but on cranial bones , sacrum, sacroiliac structures, ribs, sternum.  Osteopathic manipulations has a profound positive effect on the dura mater, the outermost membrane of the meninges that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, responsible for keeping in the cerebrospinal fluid, and  connecting cranial structures to  the spine and tail bone.   Releasing  restrictions of  visceral organ connections to the spine which can compromise  it by restricting motion in the vertebral joints, and it is very important for spinal health.
Osteopathic manipulations are gentle and non invasive,  they release pressure in the vertebral spine, and discs,  decompressing structures, creating more space in  between joints, releasing pressure on spinal nerves, ligaments and  restrictions in cranial bones, pelvic and ribs which they  can have a direct effect on the spine.
