Osteopathy

We pay attention to the connections between movement, posture, breathing, digestion
and stress.   Head- and backaches   as well as indigestion   often result   in unfitness for work.
In those cases   where disease has been ruled out by a physician,   complaints such as backache;
flatulence;   irritable colon; indigestion;   problems in the area of the head such as headache, aches
in the face, cracking in the jaw, teeth-grinding at night;   sleep disorders;   a pulling, pressing, pinching
in the torso, the limbs, or in the joints can indicate chronic malfunction in response to strain.   A body can react to strain with warning signals such as these without yet being diseased.   Up until now such problems were treated symptomatically;   painkillers were given, the teeth's roots were treated   or teeth were pulled; people were repeatedly 'adjusted';   and physical complaints   were even considered to be   'psychological'.

In more than half the patients, surgery/orthopedics and internal medicine cannot ascribe such complaints to a   single   syndrome.    In   most   cases, it is a question of functional disorders.   In both   humans and their surroundings are factors that promote this, factors that cause the event, and factors that maintain disorders and problems.    Here the specialists' various methods of interpreting complaints reach their limits,   since
little is known on the interconnectedness, complexity, and dynamics of such symptoms. Therefore, we
work with our patients, discovering the causes together by process of elimination. Our clinical
empirical approach and clinical reasoning combines manual examination and treatment,
aides and education to determine the possibilities of healing functional disorders.
