A specialist of osteopathy consults, diagnoses and treats patients not only with back pain or headache related disorders, but also helps to solve problems causes by allergies, incontinence, some forms of infertility, as well as to treat gastrointestinal and other types of diseases. Osteopathic diagnostics are based on the examination of a patient in a static and dynamic (movement) states, palpation (nuanced diagnostics through tactile sensations), detection of flexibility changes, as well as detection of biomechanic interconnections.
Treatment includes a broad range of manual (hand) techniques. The choice of techniques is individual and depends on the patient's age, physical and psychoemotional condition. An osteopath collaborates with specialists from other fields and, when necessary, a patient is referred to a suitable specialist.
