Osteopathy Technique

In an Osteopathic session, I apply manual techniques to initially diagnose and find the source of the patient’s discomfort, taking into account that in the body all the structures are connected in some way. Therefore a pain in one region may come from another area of the body.

Then, using manual techniques, I manipulate or mobilize the tissue, always adapting to the patient’s constitution to release joint disjunctions or to relax muscle contractions as facials.

Normally we work in the 3 levels established in Osteopathy to have a more global and generalized vision about the patient’s problem:

• Structural
• Visceral
• Cranio-sacral

Indications and contraindications of an osteopathic treatment

• Locomotor system: Lumbago, Cervicalgias, Dorsalgias, Pain in any joint, post-traumatic pain, contractures etc.
• ATM Dysfunctions, Headache, Chronic Sinusitis
• Functional digestive disorders, Scars
• Gynecological disorders
• In structural disorders such as degenerative diseases such as osteoarthritis, I can not achieve a cure, but I can get an improvement of the symptoms.

As a Physical and Rehabilitation Medecine Doctor, conventional medecine plays an important role and we work in the Clinic in a multidisciplinary way.

Contraindications:

• Acute infections
• Fever
• Recent and hard fractures
• Malignant tumors
• First trimester pregnancy

Osteopathy, Women and Pregnancy

A focus in our clinic is the osteopathic treatment of women with complaints in the gynecological area, or in the back and lumbar area, for whom there is often no clarity underlying structural cause.
Our osteopath also supports pregnant women (from the 3rd month). For a good, natural birth, free pelvic joints, good mobility of the lumbar spine and a relaxed, functional pelvic floor are an important prerequisite. A combination with prenatal acupuncture in our practice is possible.
Other typical pregnancy complaints, such as back pain, sciatica or coccyx pain, can also be alleviated with osteopathic treatments.

Further indications are:
• Menstrual cramps
• Chronic cystitis
• Urinary incontinence
• Complaints after gynecological operations or obstetric procedures
• Fertility difficulties
