Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body's musculoskeletal system—bones, muscles, and joints—and how it impacts overall health. Practitioners, known as osteopaths, use hands-on techniques to diagnose, treat, and prevent problems. They believe in the body’s ability to heal itself and emphasize the importance of proper alignment and movement. Osteopathy can help with various issues, including pain, injuries, and stress, promoting overall well-being by addressing the underlying causes rather than just the symptoms. It integrates aspects of conventional medicine with alternative practices, offering a comprehensive approach to health care.
