OSTEOPATHY CONSULTATION
Osteopathy is a holistic therapeutic approach that diagnoses, treats and prevents dysfunctions using manual therapy techniques (structural, visceral and cranial).
It is based on the principle that all structures in the body are interconnected, and that their balance is essential for health and wellbeing.
The main goal is to harmonise all body systems, restore mobility and enhance the body’s natural healing capacity.
WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY FOR?
The osteopath analyses the body as a whole, identifying movement restrictions, postural misalignments and muscle tension that may be causing pain or other symptoms.
The treatment doesn’t focus only on the area of complaint but investigates the root cause of the issue, promoting effective and long-lasting recovery.
Our osteopathy consultation in Lisbon is recommended for back, neck and head pain, postural issues, disc herniation, joint restrictions and chronic muscle tension.
Back pain, or dorsalgia, is a very common complaint in our clinic. It can result from postural imbalances, stress, repetitive strain or even a poor night’s sleep. The osteopathic treatment we offer for back pain aims to identify the underlying dysfunction, relieve pain and improve joint mobility.
Neck pain, also known as cervical pain, as well as stiff neck or limited head and neck movement, can be treated and relieved through Osteopathy. Cervicalgia may also be the source of more distant symptoms such as headaches, dizziness and numbness in the arms and hands.
Lower back pain, or lumbalgia, is perhaps the most common complaint in consultations. It can result from a range of neuromusculoskeletal dysfunctions and may sometimes lead to sciatica symptoms. Osteopathic treatment for lower back pain requires a thorough assessment. It’s essential to identify the characteristics of the pain and carry out all the necessary tests to determine the root cause of the dysfunction and provide the most appropriate treatment.
Headaches, or cephalalgia, can have several causes, including muscle tension or joint restrictions in the neck, shoulders and upper back. Osteopathic treatment for headaches helps to relieve these tensions, improving quality of life and reducing pain.
