Indications

As a holistic treatment method osteopathy can be applied for many different clinical pictures and complaints at any age. Below you can find a list of the most important conditions where osteopathy may be of help. We are also available to inform you about possible treatment options regarding any other health issue not included in the list.

Basically, osteopathy reaches its limits where the self-healing forces of the body are no longer strong enough. Osteopathy is no emergency medicine. Serious diseases, acute inflammation, open wounds, fractures and burns have to be treated by a medical doctor first.
