Osteopathy after COVID-19 at Parkland Natural Health Clinic

Osteopathy is a field of clinical medicine that includes providing medical care to patients with somatic dysfunctions at the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation stages. It is based on the body’s anatomical and functional unity and uses manual methods to restore the body’s ability to correct itself.

Osteopathy influences almost the entire human body, including the internal organs and structures of the skull. Osteopaths continue improving and complementing their techniques with new diagnoses and treatment methods. It is a lively, dynamic, modern system of preventive medicine.

Sections

Osteopathy includes the following sections:

  • The craniosacral part is responsible for restoring the micromotion of the brain and spinal cord, surrounding membranes, and the seams of the skull and sacrum bones.
  • The structure’s principle is the unity of the muscular-articular system. The osteopathic effect is possible only within the physiological barriers of each system element. It considers its local, regional, and global interconnections and aims to eliminate direct damage.
  • The visceral section uses specific visceral techniques to eliminate the violation of internal organs’ mobility, viscerospasms, or functional ptosis.

Osteopathy and its basics

Unlike other treatment methods that use hands, osteopathy uses a comprehensive approach to the body. We can figuratively compare the human body to a perfect car, reliable and fragile at the same time.

When this car’s parts are well-fitted and lubricated, it goes where it should when it has fuel. And it is of the correct quantity; all car parts will run smoothly. If at least one component gets damaged, it will manifest somehow. Doctors call such manifestations in the human body a disease.

Component

Any disease has both a functional and an organic component. A disorder causes the active element to function in an organ without disrupting its structure. On the contrary, the organic part is associated with organ structure damage. Depending on the ratio of functional and organic disorders, the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment will also change.

Osteopathy is most effective in functional disorders when organic disorders have not yet developed. That is, the organ has not changed. In this case, the earlier you go to an osteopathic doctor, the faster and easier he will be able to eliminate the source of the problems. And get you back to a healthy life. You can fully restore the organ’s function and eliminate the manifestations of the disease at this stage without resorting to other treatment methods.
