Glaucoma
Glaucoma:
Glaucoma is a disease of the eye that results in progressive loss of vision. The primary cause of glaucoma is an increase in the pressure inside the eye, which can be caused by a number of factors, including aging, genetics, and increased intra-ocular pressure (IOP).
Treatment for glaucoma typically involves reducing IOP with medications or surgery.
Early detection and treatment are critical to improving your chances of a successful outcome.
Osteopathy is a non-invasive medical system that uses manual manipulation and joint mobilization to treat conditions including glaucoma.
Osteopathy for glaucoma shown to be an effective treatment, with a success rate of around 85%.
Osteopathy has been used to treat ear, nose and throat (ENT) problems for centuries. While there is still some scientific controversy surrounding the effectiveness of osteopathic treatments for ENT problems, many patients report relief from various symptoms such as congestion, post-nasal drip, difficulty breathing and more.

Osteopathic Pain Management
Osteopathic pain management is a specialized approach to treating pain that incorporates manual therapies and holistic techniques to support the body’s natural healing processes. While commonly used for chronic pain conditions, it can also be highly effective in managing acute pain. By focusing on the musculoskeletal system and addressing structural imbalances, osteopathic treatment aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall quality of life.
Osteopathic Systemic Dysfunction and Problems
Osteopathic Systemic Dysfunction (OSD) refers to a condition in which there is a disruption in the body’s functional balance across multiple systems, including the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, respiratory, and digestive systems. This imbalance can interfere with the body’s natural ability to self-regulate and heal, often manifesting as chronic discomfort, reduced mobility, or systemic health issues.
Pregnancy
Osteopathy for pregnancy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that focuses on the body’s structure and how it functions during the physical changes of pregnancy. Osteopathic practitioners understand that tension, restricted movement, or pain in one area of the body can affect other regions, potentially impacting overall comfort and well-being. By addressing these imbalances, osteopathic treatment can help relieve common pregnancy-related discomforts such as back pain, pelvic pressure, and joint strain—supporting optimal alignment, improved mobility, and a more comfortable pregnancy experience.
Ear, Nose and Throat Problems
Osteopathy is a form of manual medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating dysfunctions within the musculoskeletal system. Using hands-on techniques, osteopathic practitioners work to restore alignment, improve mobility, and promote the body’s natural ability to heal. Osteopaths believe that many health issues originate from imbalances or restrictions in the bones, muscles, and joints, which can impact circulation, nerve function, and overall well-being. By addressing these structural concerns, osteopathy supports holistic health and functional recovery.
Pediatric Osteopathy (Babies and Children)
Pediatric osteopathy is a gentle, holistic form of manual medicine that focuses on improving circulation, mobility, and overall health in infants and children. Through subtle hands-on techniques, osteopathic practitioners work to identify and release areas of tension or restriction within the body. Osteopaths believe that pediatric osteopathy can support a child’s natural development and may help address a variety of common concerns, including colic, ear infections, feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances, and musculoskeletal imbalances. This non-invasive approach promotes balance and well-being in the growing body while supporting the body’s innate ability to heal and self-regulate.
Respiratory Illness
Osteopathy is a hands-on form of manual medicine that focuses on diagnosing and treating health concerns by restoring balance within the body’s structure and function. Using gentle techniques, osteopathic practitioners work to improve mobility, circulation, and overall system performance. Osteopathic treatment can be particularly beneficial in managing respiratory conditions such as asthma, bronchitis, and pneumonia. By addressing restrictions in the rib cage, diaphragm, and surrounding musculature, osteopathy supports more effective breathing, reduces tension, and enhances the body’s natural healing capacity.
