Darwin Osteopathy in a Nutshell
Chronic and acute pain doesn't just hurt your body – it hurts your emotions, and mind, too. It can impact your mood, your memory, your relationships, and your overall quality of life. Chronic pain often leads to depression and anxiety, which in turn can further increase physical pain.
To avoid this vicious cycle, Darwin Osteopathy will tailor a comprehensive pain detection plan to identify and treat the root causes of your pain. We will work with you to eliminate or minimize both the physical, and emotional, impacts of your pain.
At Darwin Osteopathy our practitioners have an in-depth understanding of how the body’s systems are interconnected, and how each one affects the others. We focus special attention on your musculoskeletal system, which reflects and influences the condition of all other body systems.
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is incorporated into the training and practice of osteopaths. With OMT, osteopaths use their hands to diagnose illness and injury, and to encourage your body’s natural tendency toward good health. By combining sound medical knowledge with OMT, Osteopaths offer their patients the most comprehensive care available in physical medicine today.
In coordination with appropriate treatment, osteopaths educate patients about their body to help bring about change to unhealthy patterns, and to enhance long-term well-being.
