Osteopathic Lesion
An osteopathic lesion refers to a specific area in the body where structures like bones, muscles, or nerves are altered or slightly misaligned, potentially affecting movement and function. These lesions may result from injury, poor posture, or repetitive strain, leading to discomfort or impaired mobility. Osteopathic practitioners assess these areas to restore proper alignment and function, believing that addressing such lesions can promote the body's natural healing processes. It is a concept used in osteopathic medicine to understand and treat various musculoskeletal issues through manual techniques.
