Osteopathic Treatment
Pain is a very subjective and complex phenomenon, which is still not clearly understood today. It can be triggered by functional problems as well as pathologies. The majority of patients see an osteopath for a functional problem.
Pain is a cry for help in relation to something wrong with the patient’s body. It is a very unpleasant and personal feeling, in fact each person has his own pain threshold that he manifests in a very subjective way. Pain tolerance varies greatly from person to person.
Pain affects the balance of the patient’s psycho-physical health. It is physiological when it represents a defense system, which manifests an essential symptom to avoid damage to the body. However, when the pain is prolonged over time, it can become pathological, manifesting itself as a pain syndrome.
Osteopaths carefully evaluate the origin of the painful experience and can help the body itself to find a new functional balance whether the pain is of functional or pathological origin.
