Osteopathy is a scientific discipline that studies movement dysfunctions at the neuromusculoskeletal, visceral, and cranial levels. Osteopathy combines knowledge of human anatomy and physiology with knowledge of how different tissues contribute to pain. Through specific manual techniques directed at tissues identified as pathological, osteopathy facilitates the body's inherent self-regulatory mechanisms, allowing it to recover and normalize altered functions, which translates into a reduction in symptoms and restoration of health.
Most Frequent Problems
- Cervicalgia (neck pain);
- Headache or migraines;
- Joint, ligament, or muscle pain;
- Disc disorders (discarthrosis, herniated disc, or disc protrusion);
- Low back pain, sciatica;
- Sequelae of trauma or traffic accidents (whiplash);
- Temporomandibular joint dysfunction;
- Swallowing or digestion dysfunction (due to hiatal hernia or fascial tension);
- Intestinal dysfunction (e.g., constipation or colitis);
- Chronic pelvic pain;
- Carpal tunnel syndrome.
Treatment
At Physioclem, we work in both areas in a complementary way: the osteopath conducts a thorough assessment of the patient in order to identify the cause of the health problem and, through manual techniques, restore mobility to the tissues, release tension, and promote overall harmony. The physical therapist, in turn, works to maintain a new posture and develop muscles for greater joint stability and improved function.
