Osteopathy is a branch of medical practice that emphasizes the importance of the musculoskeletal system in overall health and well-being. Osteopathic practitioners, known as osteopaths or doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs), believe in the body’s innate ability to heal itself and focus on treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms of a disease. They use a hands-on approach to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of medical conditions, often employing techniques such as manipulation of the musculoskeletal system, soft tissue stretching, and joint mobilization. Osteopathy aims to restore the body’s balance and function, promoting optimal health and wellness.
