Osteopathy : A medicine for your wellbeing

What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy: from the holistic to the bio-psycho-social model

Osteopathy is a non-invasive medicine and therapy that aims to improve overall health by manipulating, stimulating and strengthening the neuro-musculo-skeletal framework. Its aim is to treat pain of mechanical origin and promote the body's overall balance. Founded in 1874 by Dr. Andrew Taylor Still in the United States, it is based on a holistic vision of the human body, in which all its components interact and influence each other.

With the evolution of medical science, this model was enriched to become the bio-psycho-social model. This framework, now essential, takes into account the biological, psychological and social dimensions in the management of chronic pain. Osteopathy works primarily on the joints, muscles and fascias, mobilizing the musculo-articular structure and stimulating the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems to restore balance to the body.

In France, osteopathy is regulated by a strict legal framework. It is indicated for the treatment of functional pathologies, and can also be used to complement other medical treatments. Thanks to this dual approach, osteopathy has established itself as an effective and recognized discipline.

Osteopathy based on scientific evidence

​​​​​​​Today, the scientific approach and rigorous evidence-based research play a crucial role in the evolution of medical practices, including osteopathy. Based on a holistic understanding of the human body, osteopathy stands out for its ability to integrate scientific advances while maintaining a patient-centred approach.

The future of osteopathy lies in its ability to combine scientific rigour with personalized care. Scientific research allows us to confirm the effectiveness of treatments and adapt techniques to the specific needs of each individual. It is by combining a solid scientific foundation with personalized care that osteopathy can continue to evolve and earn the trust of patients.

Advances in neuroscience, biomechanics and pain management provide an ideal framework for refining osteopathic practices. Drawing on this up-to-date knowledge, osteopathy can become an indispensable complement to conventional care, particularly in the management of chronic pain and functional disorders.
