Osteopathy In Burnaby
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathic Manual Therapy is a gentle manual treatment that helps to reduce pain and discomfort by addressing restrictions and restoring alignment, circulation, and neurological function; promoting overall well-being.
The body functions as one integrated unit, and the complexities of health issues often involve multiple organ systems. An Osteopathic Practitioner works to address all contributing factors (such as the musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, visceral systems, etc.) helping to restore balance and support healing.
