Complementary / integrative medicine

Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a manual medicine which complements the chemical-pharmacological (allopathy) and vitalizing therapies (homeopathy) and treats mainly the structural and mechanical troubles of the human body and the pain deriving from them. Having its own diagnostic and treatment procedures, it is a soft medicine that provides care for patients of all ages. Osteopathy does not limit itself to a strictly sympomatic approach, but it considers the individual in its totality to establish its diagnosis. Therefore, the treatment zone can lie outside the localised zone.

Some diseases treated by osteopathy:

Back troubles and extremities
Lumbago, ischalgia, scoliosis, nevralgia, sprains, meniscus injuries, muscle injuries

Cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases
Migraine, hemorrhoids, asthma, bronchitis

Digestive tract
Gastritis, hiatal hernia, indigestion, liver and gallbladder diseases

Ear-nose-throat
Sinusitis, acute hearing loss, tinnitus

Kidney and bladder diseases
Cystitis, incontinence, ptosis

Genitals
Menstrual disorders, menopausal disorders, preparations for birth

Paediatrics
Birth trauma, inborn and acquired functional disorders, scoliosis prevention, behaviour disorders, coordination disorders

Applied kinesiology
Applied kinesiology is based on a functional evaluation of the patient. Excepting standard diagnostic methods, it is caracterized by static and dynamic palpation as well as the analysis of the patient´s posture and gait.
