„A physician’s aim is to find health, because illness could be found by anyone” A.T. Still
Physical medicine and rehabilitation method doctor, osteopath of the MFD Outpatient hospital „Pardaugava” Baiba Smilskalne tells about the specific of alternative medicine method – osteopathy:
„The principles of osteopathic medicine emphasize the interrelationship between structure and function of the body and recognize the body's ability to heal itself; it is the role of the osteopath to facilitate that process, principally by the skilled practice of manual and manipulative therapy.
The osteopathic medical philosophy is defined as the concept of health care that embraces the concept of the unity of the living organism's structure (anatomy) and function (physiology). These are the four major principles of osteopathic medicine:
1. The body is a unit. An integrated unit of mind, body, and
spirit.
2. The body possesses self-regulatory mechanisms, having the inherent capacity
to defend, repair, and remodel itself.
3. Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
The advantages of osteopathy:
• an integrated approach to the organism,
• without surgery,
• safety,
• allows to reduce the amount of medicine taken,
• allows to reduce treatment time,
• prolongs therapeutic effect.
It is advised to visit a osteopathic physician twice a year.”
