You are much more than the simple addition of the parts of your body.  This is why osteopathy treats the human body as a whole.  Instead of stopping with the particular symptoms, it treats the body in its whole while going with the source of the problem.

Nowadays, marked by spectacular medical progress, surgery and new increasingly more powerful drugs are tools that help the osteopathic medicine attain its goal.  By using a detailed questionnaire, observation and the art of palpation, the osteopath can give a specific treatment and analysis of the condition of the patient.

Osteopathy brings to you what alternative medicines have the best to offer.  The osteopaths can specialize in each recognized sphere of this philosophy, of cranial osteopathy to visceral osteopathy, without forgetting structural osteopathy.  They use manual methods of diagnosis and treatments which they call MOT (manipulative osteopathic treatment).

While practicing a manipulative osteopathic treatment, the D.O brings a new dimension to  healthcare in the therapeutic non aggressive form.  The D.O uses the MOT to diagnose, treat and prevent the disease or the wounds.  In certain cases, the MOT can be practiced jointly with other approaches.
