What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is a branch of medicine that examines and evaluates disorders that develop due to problems seen in organ systems, musculoskeletal system and central nervous system by manual methods. Specialist medical doctors or physiotherapists who work in this branch and complete their 5-year education in anatomy and physiology are called osteopaths. Before the physical examination related to the musculoskeletal system, osteopathic specialists ask a number of questions about the patient's general health status, the symptoms seen at that time, and the diseases in the family history. One of the most important elements paid attention to in osteopathy is the studies and treatment methods applied to the “self-healing” of the body. These special treatment methods, which are based on a scientific basis, play a very important role in diagnosing and treating conditions that cause disease in people.

Taking into account all the symptoms observed in the body in osteopathy, the most appropriate treatment method is decided for the person. Attention is paid to the creation of a treatment plan with a holistic approach for patients who apply to this branch with symptoms such as knee, hip, neck or shoulder pain. For example; only in patients who complain of pain in the spine, hip or knee area, after looking at the aching area, all other existing symptoms and all conditions that may cause these symptoms are also carefully examined. At the same time, systems that directly affect the basic working order of the body, such as the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system, are also looked at to treat or prevent ailments that appear in the patient.
Osteopathy is a branch of medicine that allows patients to be treated without resorting to any medication or surgical methods by applying various methods of manual therapy (manual therapy).
