Orthopedic osteopathy

Orthopedic osteopathy is the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and disorders. Manipulation and mobilization are used to correct joint malpositions and dysfunctions. Treatments include technical massage concentrated on problematic areas, kinesiotherapy, and providing instructions on body control. Our osteopaths will give you instructions on functional and therapeutic exercises you need to control your condition and prevent new problems from emerging. Osteopaths have a lot of experience in treating different kinds of athletes and are aware of the demands of particular sports. This is why osteopathy is a popular treatment among top athletes.

Orthopedic osteopaths always perform a thorough clinical examination. This is the only way to properly treat a dysfunctional tissue and rule out certain risk factors which can prevent treatment. Our professionals base their work on academic medicine and their broad knowledge on anatomy, x-ray diagnostics and neurology. A trained orthopedic osteopath is able to do hundreds of clinical tests in order to get to the bottom of the problem.

After a clinical examination, orthopedic osteopaths can refer their patients to a specialist or a general practitioner for further examination. In most cases, they can state the main reason of the patient’s problem. Please bring with you all medical certificates, MRI and x-ray images when arriving at our clinic.
