Post-Graduate Training :The benefits of Osteopathy are numerous. The osteopath treats each patient (adults, pregnant and post-natal women, babies, children, teenagers, athletes, seniors) in a holistic, whole-body approach, using a detailed knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Osteopathy can treat many structural and functional problems.
If the spine and its ailments is the major cause of consultations in Osteopathy, it can relieve a much larger variety of pains and complaints. Discover in the following list the numerous pains that Osteopathy can cure.
During childbirth, the newborn experience important pressures on his whole body, especially on his skull, even if the childbirth went well.
This phenomenon is amplified if the delivery is very long or very fast and if forceps or spatulas are needed to extract the baby. In this case, the baby's passage through the mother's pelvis will sometimes mark her skull and therefore slightly deform it.
In addition, the tensions caused by childbirth can lead to digestive disorders (regurgitation, constipation, colic) as well as nervousness, anxiety and sleeping difficulties. These tensions can be treated by your osteopath from the first days of the newborn's life.
Growth is an important step in development. Each child's growth is unique and can cause pain or occasional imbalances.
Osteopathic follow-up of the child and teenager is important so that he or she does not grow up with dysfunctions that can lead to various disorders in adulthood. This follow-up is very important if the child has scoliosis. Static disorders (scoliosis, lordosis, kyphosis) are a sign of poor adaptation of the body. The causes, which can be visceral, traumatic, cranial, will be determined by a specific diagnosis of the osteopath. Appropriate correction techniques will improve these spinal disorders.
Children undergoing orthodontic treatment. Wearing braces creates tensions in the jaw and skull bones that can cause stress, headaches, neck and back pain or difficulties to concentrate.
Whatever the profession, everyone spends many hours a day in the same posture, or repeating the same movements.
Sitting in front of a computer, carrying objects, doing manual work with the same arm, working in difficult positions or simply feeling stressed, are the causes of many musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Attentive to these muscular or joint disorders related to working conditions, the osteopath uses a method of care that seeks to identify and treat mobility restrictions that can affect the entire human body.
The appearance of the first pains and tensions should encourage you to consult an osteopath who will perform a complete check-up. It will restore the body's ability to adapt to the constraints it is undergoing.
Over the years, the body is subject to transformations that gradually lead to a decrease in all its functions, leading to the appearance of disabilities.
These restrictions can lead to loss of autonomy and isolation, and have a significant psychological and social impact.
Being followed as soon as possible and as regularly as possible by an osteopath allows you to regain and strengthen your functions by working on the general mobility of your body.
Maintaining a good physical and mental state through preventive actions throughout life guarantees a good health. For example, osteopathic treatments improve balance, reduces pain in short and long term and thus contribute to improving quality of life.
Any mobility loss of joints, muscles, ligaments or visceral system can cause an imbalance in your body. This is manifested to athletes by various symptoms, from simple contracture to chronic pain, altering performances.
Through his specific action on the whole body, the osteopath knows how to recognize and treat the real causes of pain limiting the practice of sports activity.
Through its effectiveness, it improves muscle potential and power, joint flexibility and respiratory capacity. Osteopathic treatment also allows a better concentration before the event and optimizes recovery after the exercise.
Of course, pregnancy is not a pathological condition, but it is accompanied by many changes in the body in a short period of time.
However, if this pregnancy occurs while the body is experiencing tensions, dysfunctions or mobility restrictions, adaptation to these changes will be disrupted and pain may appear. The osteopath's goal in this case will be, as always, to reharmonize the patient's body so that it can regain all its adaptive capacities.
For example, rapid weight gain leads to a change in posture that can cause spinal pain, most often lumbar and back pain, sometimes an acute low back pain (lumbago), sciatica or torticollis.
In this case the osteopath works to relax the spasms, decompress and restore the mobility of the joints in pain. Of course, the techniques used are chosen according to the term of the pregnancy and with respect for the comfort of the future mother.
Osteopathy is also useful in the treatment of digestive disorders (nausea, constipation, heaviness) and venous disorders related to pregnancy in order to relieve dysfunctions without taking oral medication contraindicated to pregnant women.
It may also be useful to consult your osteopath at the end of pregnancy to prepare your pelvis for childbirth and prevent the high stress that it will experience when the baby passes through.
Trauma, whether physical or emotional, old or undetected, can cause painful sequelae even years later.
The osteopath makes everyone aware that they are responsible for their own health, which they can preserve through regular osteopathic follow-up.
Basic insurance (LaMal) does not cover Osteopathy. It is reimbursed by the supplementary insurance companies. However, we recommend that you check with your insurance company to ensure that your contract covers Osteopathy.
Contrary to popular belief, in 95% of cases, there is no deductible with your supplementary, only the basic insurance is concerned.
Your accident insurance can cover Osteopathy. However, as the coverage varies from one insurance company to another, we advise you to contact your insurance company directly. The insured will pay for the sessions after each sessions, the same way as for illness.
We are certified osteopaths: R.M.E (Register of Empirical Medicines), A.S.C.A and especially
C.D.S (Commission of Health Directions), with recognition by the Swiss Red Cross.
Today, basic insurance (LaMal) does not cover osteopathic care. On the other hand,
supplementary insurance reimburses all or part of the consultations. Do not hesitate to
contact your supplementary insurance to find out about the terms of reimbursement.
