Description
Symptoms such as aches and pains are always the end product of a process; they are the effects of a cause or causes. Osteopathy does not aim to treat and manage conditions at a symptomatic level but instead looks at the whole body aiming to diagnose the root cause of a patient’s symptoms and reach an effective resolution with minimal treatments.
To do this, osteopaths interact with the most important interface in the body, the one that relays all the information between tissues… the neurology or nervous system. Wherever the root cause lies, it will be communicated via nerve pathways up to the brain, information is then processed and an appropriate response generated. An osteopath is able to interpret what information is being communicated by the nerves and where that information is coming from, hence diagnosing cause and effect.
Diagnosing causality is of utmost importance as performing treatment on compensatory tensions and restrictions is futile as the body will eventually reinstate those issues as long as the cause has not being appropriately treated and resolved. This happens far too often where symptoms may improve after a given treatment but then return and subsequent treatments are required again and again.
In contrast, when the cause is completely resolved with the appropriate and specific treatment technique, nerves return to their normal function and the brain abolishes the compensatory tension pattern throughout the body that was once needed. Tensions and restrictions that are no longer required quickly and naturally release without the need for direct treatment. The causative issue does not usually return, leaving patients with long term improvements and total freedom of movement.
