If you ever have pain or symptoms, whether muscular or of another origin, we recommend you visit an excellent Osteopath to find the best solution to your problem. Go to your trusted Croydon Osteopath and tell us about your case. We will offer you a different perspective and a truly effective treatment.
Like other forms of complementary medicine, osteopathy has grown in popularity in the last decades, especially for treating musculoskeletal disorders. Scientific evidence so far suggests that osteopathy and other skeletal and muscle manipulative therapies are as effective in treating back pain as other treatments such as physiotherapy or therapeutic exercises. Analysis of the pooled data concluded that osteopathy was more effective than other approaches in reducing pain and improving physical function in acute/chronic nonspecific low back and neck pain and chronic noncancer pain.
Here are ten reasons that make Osteopathy the best manual and natural treatment therapy:
1. A good Osteopath acts directly on the cause of the problem
Unlike other professionals, Osteopaths are not dedicated to treating symptoms. We understand that the symptoms that appear in the patient are the consequence of a primary cause that provokes them and that, in general, the cause is not usually in the same place where the symptom appears. Thanks to the principle of Globality by which we abide, it is possible to understand that a visceral alteration, such as chronic gastritis, can cause back pain or that an eye or jaw problem can alter the entire balance system and produce contractures. Painful anywhere in the body.
2. Osteopathic treatment respects your body
“Find the injury, fix it, and let nature do it.” This is one of the three basic principles of every Osteopath. We understand every process of your body very well. Whether it is an inflammatory process, a chronic process, or another type of process, we apply Osteopathic techniques precisely what your body needs to achieve optimal recovery. Unlike traditional medicine, we never apply something that goes against what your body is doing at all times, which tends to intervene by blocking your body’s biological processes.
3. The objective of Osteopathic treatment is the self-healing of your body
We are exclusively dedicated to stimulating the self-regulation mechanisms of your body, improving microcirculation, recovering elasticity in the tissues, and releasing joint blockages that you have in your body. In this way, we send a “message” to the nervous system to re-balance, causing a global response of harmonization of your body.
4. The treatment has no unwanted side effects
In Osteopathic treatments, there are no unwanted side effects. Yes, body reactions are necessary to rebalance the body systems, but these effects are not adverse for you, quite the opposite! After the treatments, there are 24-48 hours in which your body responds to the stimulus given. For this reason, it is possible that after the treatment, you feel tired and even occasionally dizzy or feverish. All of them are processes of recovery and organic rebalancing that occur when your autonomic nervous system is activated. Your body, at that moment, asks you to rest to conclude your recovery.
5. The good Osteopath is guided by the state of your tissue, not by medical labels
You and your body give us all the information we need to complete the treatment successfully. The fact that you go to the clinic with a medical diagnosis of low back pain – which means low back pain – does not help us much since the possible causes of low back pain are numerous. For this reason, we focus our attention on what you tell us and where your body has restrictions that produce the symptoms you describe. We have our own practical osteopathic diagnostic tools.
6. The effects of the treatment are immediate
Whenever we perform a treatment, we immediately receive our body’s response. We can observe how the posture, mobility and elasticity of the tissue, among other factors we measure in your body, improve immediately. In most cases, the relief of the symptom for which the consultation is attended is also immediate.
7. Although you go for a specific problem, the good Osteopath improves your entire body.
Thanks to our treatment’s focus on allowing your body to regulate itself, the produced effects are global. The stimuli your nervous system receives make all your systems react, improving circulation, stimulating your immune system and regulating your hormones, causing the effect of the treatment to be transmitted to all parts of your body.
8. Good osteopaths obtain excellent results where other professionals do not
Since our diagnosis is based on what your body tells us and not on hypotheses or statistics, we may be treating processes in your body that other professionals do not treat, and the results are very satisfactory. In this way, we are very effective in treating neuralgia, herniated discs, headaches, dizziness, digestive, gynecological and even hormonal problems, among many other possibilities.
9. You will save a lot of medication
Undoubtedly, one of the best reasons to visit a good osteopath is that after the treatment, you will not have to take medications that hurt your health. You will reduce or even eliminate the intake of drugs such as paracetamol, omeprazole, Lyrica, cortisone and many others that, in many cases, hinder your recovery. We recommend good communication between the Osteopath and her doctor or family specialist to coordinate the treatment.
10. Osteopathy is not addictive
You don’t need to keep going to the osteopath. At first, in the most complicated cases, it will be necessary to carry out several periodic sessions. As your recovery progresses, the changes in your body will be more lasting. Suppose you also follow the daily recommendations we offer you in consultations. In that case, you will not need to go to consultations again. for this problem, Remember that the best therapist is not the one who relieves your symptoms but the one who helps you solve problems. If you need to see a therapist every month because his symptoms come back, the original cause hasn’t been resolved. Thanks to the effectiveness of Osteopathic treatment, in most cases, with 2 or 3 sessions, a tremendous improvement is already noticeable. We will help you solve your problem with a few more sessions.
