Treatment

“A natural medicine which aims to restore function in the body by treating the causes of pain and imbalance. To achieve this goal the Osteopathic Manual Practitioner relies on the quality and finesse of his/her palpation and works with the position, mobility and quality of the tissues."
 Philippe Druelle, DO

Osteopathy was founded by Andrew Taylor Still in Kirksville, Missouri. Osteopathy is a manual therapy to treat the whole body as an integrated and compensating system. Osteopathy is a form of healing which emphasizes the interrelationship between structure and function of the body. Osteopathic principles believe in the body’s ability to heal itself.

There are many different symptoms and conditions that can be helped with osteopathic treatment; headaches,whiplash ear pain and vertigo, shoulder, back and knee pain, constipation and menstrual concerns.
