What Conditions Benefit From Osteopathic Therapy?
Osteopathic therapy is an excellent choice for several different pain conditions, including the following:
- Back and Neck Pain – Neck and back pain are two of the most common medical complaints worldwide, particularly lower back pain. It can stem from poor postural habits, a sedentary lifestyle, or an underlying injury.
- Arthritis – Arthritis is inflammation in the joint tissue that causes pain and restricted mobility. There are several types of arthritis; osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are the most common.
- Sports Injuries – Sports injuries are injuries sustained while engaging in sports or other physical activity. Examples include sprains and strains, knee injuries, or shin splints.
- Chronic Pain Conditions – Chronic pain is any pain lasting more than three months–longer than you would expect an underlying injury to heal. These are complex conditions that can be difficult to treat. Examples include fibromyalgia or myofascial pain syndrome.
What To Expect During Osteopathic Therapy
Osteopathic therapy utilizes over a hundred different manual therapy techniques to help reduce pain and manage injuries and other conditions. Our osteopathic therapists will always begin with a comprehensive evaluation to help us better understand your symptoms, conditions, and overall goals. From there, we’ll create a custom plan based on your unique needs.
Here are just a few examples of the techniques we might use:
High-Velocity Low-Amplitude Manipulation
This technique involves briefly thrusting your joint through its current range of motion, helping to reduce pain and improve mobility.
Soft Tissue Manipulation
This massage-like technique involves manipulating your body’s soft tissue (muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves) to boost circulation, reduce pain, and ease movement restrictions.
Myofascial Release
This specific type of soft tissue manipulation involves working out restrictions in your myofascia, a web of flexible tissue that wraps around your muscles. Restrictions in the myofascia can cause referred pain throughout the body, not just at the location of the restriction.
Visceral Manipulation
This gentle technique helps your organs move more smoothly inside your body, helping to improve general well-being.
This is only a small selection of the techniques we might include in your plan. No matter your needs, the Elements Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation osteopathic therapists are dedicated to finding the right treatment for you.
