Osteopathy is a first-line manual medicine. It aims to define and optimize the relationships between the various parts of the body, essentially by promoting the quality of the biological tissues that constitute and link them.

Osteopaths use a variety of manual techniques which, through reflex neurological and circulatory pathways, for example, bring about lasting changes in multiple joints, viscera, muscles, etc...

Treatment generally takes 1-3 sessions.

Osteopathy doesn't focus exclusively on the bone, as its name might suggest, but on all the systems of the human body. You may need to consult an osteopath, for example, in the event of :

- disorders of the musculoskeletal system (torticollis, lumbago, sprains, tendonitis, whiplash, jaw pain, etc.)

- Functional disorders of the digestive system (constipation, acidity, etc.)

- Genito-urinary system disorders (menstrual pain, difficulty getting pregnant, etc.)

- ENT disorders (sinusitis, dizziness, migraine, etc.)

Osteopathy can also be of benefit in :

- supporting pregnant women during pregnancy and post-partum

- ì- following surgery, particularly for the treatment of scars

- support for orthodontic treatment

Finally, osteopaths are also called upon to treat babies, who may come for consultation as soon as they are born. The following symptoms are indications for osteopathic treatment:

- plagiocephaly

- sleep disorders

- agitation

- regurgitation

- etc...
