Osteopathy is a therapeutic approach developed in the 19th century, centered on the belief that the body can heal itself when its structures are properly aligned and it is in a state of overall health. This practice, while taking a comprehensive view of healthcare, also incorporates contemporary medical advancements, such as the use of medications, surgeries, and other treatments when necessary. Osteopathy focuses on ensuring the correct alignment of bones, muscles, and connective tissues. It often involves adjustments similar to those in chiropractic care, specifically targeting skeletal structures. Additionally, craniosacral therapy, which involves manipulating the bones and tissues of the head and neck, is an offshoot of osteopathy.
