What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathic Medicine is a traditional “hands-on” diagnostic and therapeutic science. Pioneered in the late 1800's by a medical doctor named Andrew Taylor Still, Osteopathic Medicine is dedicated to the treatment and healing of the entire patient. It is based on three main principles:
1. The body is a whole dynamic unit of function and anything done to one part can affect the other parts.
2. The body has the ability to heal itself, with an inherent therapeutic power and constant drive toward health.
3. There is an interrelationship and interdependence between structure (anatomy) and function in the human body, and knowledge of the details of that structure allows the Osteopathic physician to effect changes that no pill can achieve.
