Osteopathy uses the studied physical manipulation of your body's muscle tissue and bones to help restore healthy functioning of injured areas. Osteopathy is based on four basic principles:
Laser therapy (more specifically, low-level laser therapy or cold laser therapy, although it goes by many names) has been widely used in Europe and Asia for decades and is becoming more and more popular in North America over the past 15 years. This technique uses photons of light to help reduce pain and promote healing for a variety of conditions including arthritis, repetitive stress injuries, soft tissue and sports injuries, and more.
Myofascial (pronounced "my-o-FASH-e-ul") release might sound a little strange but it's a very effective technique. Myofascial pain originates in trigger points based in the fascia, the thin, elastic connective tissue that wraps structures within our bodies like muscles. These points can become stiff and anchored and are sometimes not even located where the source of your pain seems to be coming from, making diagnosis tricky for non-professionals.
