Model of Osteopathic Care

The Model of Osteopathic Care emphasizes a holistic approach, focusing on treating the whole person rather than just symptoms. It considers how the musculoskeletal system interacts with other body systems, health, and lifestyle. Osteopathic practitioners aim to diagnose, manage, and prevent health issues by assessing the body’s structure and function. They use gentle hands-on techniques like manipulation, alongside advice on exercise, posture, and lifestyle, to promote natural healing, improve mobility, and restore balance for overall well-being. This approach views health as a dynamic state influenced by multiple interconnected factors.
