What is the procedure for the appointment?

We begin with a medical history, during which I can gain a comprehensive understanding of your case. This is followed by a physical examination using osteopathic and orthopedic tests to locate and better understand your complaint.The treatment uses manual therapy techniques to influence tissue and support self-healing.Finally, I will show them exercises so that they can continue the treatment themselves.

Question 9

Is osteopathic treatment painful?

Accepted Answer

Naturally, treatment should be as painless as possible .However, sometimes affected tissue is already sensitive, and in certain cases a slightly stronger impulse can be helpful – this may cause mild pain in the short term.The intensity of these techniques can be individually adjusted at any time and is by no means mandatory. Your well-being is always our top priority.
