About osteopathy

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is based on the principle that the body’s structure directly affects its ability to function. If one part of the body is restricted—whether it's a joint, a ligament, or even the connective tissue surrounding an organ—the rest of the body must compensate. This leads to pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility.

Our Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use gentle, precise manual techniques to:

  • Improve Joint Mobility: Restoring fluid movement to the spine and limbs.
  • Optimize Circulation: Ensuring blood and lymphatic fluids flow freely to promote healing.
  • Balance the Nervous System: Reducing the "fight or flight" stress response in the body.

Why Choose Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is often the "missing piece" for patients who haven't found relief through traditional methods. It is particularly effective for:

  • Complex Chronic Pain: When the source of pain isn't easily identified.
  • Digestive & Respiratory Issues: Addressing physical restrictions that affect internal organ function.
  • Concussion & Migraine Support: Gentle craniosacral techniques to alleviate pressure.
  • Posture & Movement: Addressing the movement imbalances caused by daily habits or old injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does it differ from Chiropractic?

Both are hands-on, drug-free approaches to pain and movement problems. Chiropractors are a regulated health profession in BC and diagnose and treat conditions of the spine, joints, muscles and nervous system, often using spinal manipulation, soft tissue therapy and exercise rehabilitation. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners, a non-regulated profession in BC, take a whole-body approach that aims to restore balance within and between the muscles, joints, bones, nerves, vessels, connective tissues and internal organs, using gentle techniques such as joint mobilization, myofascial release, visceral manipulation and craniosacral therapy. Many of our patients benefit from seeing both as part of a coordinated care plan.

Is it covered by insurance?

Some extended health plans in BC cover Osteopathic Manual Therapy. Please check with your provider.

Does it hurt?

Osteopathy is generally very gentle and focuses on working with your body’s resistance rather than forcing it.
