"To
find health should be the object of the doctor. Anyone can find disease."
Osteopaths
practice a "whole person" approach to health care, instead of just treating
specific symptoms, osteopaths concentrate on treating you as a whole.
Osteopaths understand how all the body's systems are interconnected and
how each one affects the others. They focus special attention on the musculoskeletal
system, which reflects and influences the condition of all other body
systems.
This
system of bones and muscles makes up about two-thirds of the body's mass,
and a routine part of the osteopathic patient examination is a careful
evaluation of these important structures. Osteopaths know that the body's
structure plays a critical role in its ability to function.
We
use our eyes and hands to identify structural problems and to support
the body's natural tendency toward health and self-healing. We also use
our ears - to listen to you and your health concerns.
We
help patients develop attitudes and lifestyles that don't just fight illness,
but help prevent it.
