Osteopathy is a form of drug-free, non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework. Throughout early infancy and childhood, traumas play a significant role in affecting the development and body structure of a child, influencing the final mature adult skeletal structure. Osteopathic practitioners believe that conventional medicine focuses too much on surface symptoms and advises medical or surgical intervention of a localized problem.
