Osteopathy is a field of medicine based on a holistic concept aimed at the diagnosis and treatment of dysfunctions of macro- and micromotion of body tissues.
As part of traditional medicine, it takes into account the pathogenetic mechanisms of disease development and considers the human body outside the nosological approach, restoring the ability to self-regulation and adaptation.
For diagnostic and therapeutic manipulations in osteopathy, examination, functional tests, palpation and exposure to the doctor’s hands on the anatomical structures of the skull, sacrum, joints, muscular-fascial structures, internal organs of the patient’s body are used, taking into account the necessary studies offered by modern medicine.
Osteopathy is based on fundamental knowledge of anatomy and physiology, and the highest sensitivity of the hands of an osteopath doctor, achieved through years of special training. Mastering the specialty of an osteopath requires an additional fundamental four-year training.
Osteopathy effectively treats diseases

Mastering the techniques of palpation, the doctor must learn a huge number of techniques for manual diagnosis and treatment, turning them into the art of therapeutic touch.
All manipulations are painless: during the session, the patient feels only pleasant relaxation throughout the body. The session lasts from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
An osteopathic doctor, examining the body with his hands, feels deviations from the norm: muscle and ligament tension, an increase in the size and density of the organ, displacement of bones, tension of tendons and fascial membranes, violation of the rhythms of movement of the organ. The fingers of an osteopath record the slightest changes, even those that have not yet hurt.
The doctor’s task is to find and eliminate the cause of the disease, and not its consequence, that is, to return to the correct position the displaced organ, due to which the back hurts, or to relieve muscle tension that causes pain. Moreover, all effects are performed only within the physiological capabilities of the body and do not exceed the pain threshold.
Osteopathy as a treatment method has the following advantages:
- Diagnostic accuracy. An osteopath is able to detect functional abnormalities that are not detected even by diagnostic devices, and identify the true cause of the disease, even if it is not in the place where it hurts.
- Safe treatment without pain. Osteopathy uses soft, absolutely safe and painless techniques.
- Elimination of the cause. An osteopath identifies the root causes of the development of the disease, which are often hidden behind neurological symptoms and giving pain. This allows for effective treatment, and not just to make you feel better.
- Scientific base. Osteopathy is based on accurate knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry and histology.
- Reduced medication. The successful use of osteopathy can reduce the frequency and quantity of medications taken or completely abandon medication.
