Why Choose the Edmonton Metro Osteopathic Clinic?
- Principles Based Osteopathy
Treatments are based on principles founded in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics to treat structure to affect function while considering the body as a dynamic unit of function.
Classical Osteopathy is its own science, philosophy, and treatment process founded by Dr. A.T. Still in 1874. It’s not just an “add-on” course to another modality.
- Certified Practitioners
Our practitioners have the highest standards of education and clinical practice in Canada.
This includes a 4-year, full-time osteopathic education at the Canadian Academy of Osteopathy (CAO) and are all in good standing with the Osteopathy Canada Association (OSTCAN).
- Commitment to Care
Our practitioners’ extensive educational paths were chosen to best help their patients. Now, they are still driven by a desire to learn to stay up to date with the latest research and practices to best serve their patients.
Paige, Kyle & Jenny also hold a Bachelor Degree in Kinesiology. Brennan has completed advanced training from the Upledger Institute.
- Distinctive Approach
Our practitioners are a select few of CAO trained, OSTCAN certified practitioners in the Northern Alberta region; it is worth experiencing Classical Osteopathy as a part of your healthcare journey.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is an effective form of manual therapy which treats the patient as a dynamic unit of function including their fascia, muscles, bones/joints, nervous system, circulatory system, lymphatic system and organ systems. Using principles founded in anatomy, physiology and biomechanics, the Osteopathic Practitioner’s thorough process facilitates health through comprehensive assessment to accurately identify the root cause of dysfunction, and structural adjustments to provide an environment for restored function.
The 4 Tenets of Osteopathy
The Body is a Dynamic Unit
This emphasizes that the body is not just a collection of separate parts, but rather a complex and interconnected system where everything is interrelated and works together.
The Body is Self-Healing
The body has the ability to repair and restore itself when it is in a state of imbalance or injury. Osteopathy focuses on facilitating and supporting this natural healing process rather than solely relying on external interventions.
The Body’s Structure and Function Are Interrelated
The body’s structure, such as bones, muscles, ligaments, and organs, and its function, such as movement, circulation, and nervous system activity, are inherently connected and influence each other.
Rational treatment considers the preceding 3 principles.
Treatment is guided by the first three tenets. Rather than focusing only on the site of pain, the practitioner looks at the body as a whole, supports its natural ability to heal, and addresses the relationship between structure and function to restore health.
