Restoring mobility to the various structures of the body to restore balanced functioning is the goal of osteopathy. It can act on the vertebrae, the skull, the viscera and the tissues that surround them, such as muscles or fasciae.
All systems are interdependent, so the blockage of one organ can impact another part of the body. “90% of my patients come for bone and joint problems, but more often than not it hides something else, I then treat the symptom and the underlying causes. Asthma, for example, is related to the intestine, neck pain with the stomach … ” says Gérard Longuet, osteopath.
Here are three situations where osteopathy gives amazing results.
Osteopathy treats fertility disorders
Many women find it difficult to get pregnant for no “medical” reason. This can be explained by a congested or poorly mobile uterus, energy and fluids that circulate poorly in the small pelvis, psycho-emotional causes, such as after an abortion or a miscarriage. The treatment consists of releasing the blockages so that the area is again well irrigated and well drained.
In 80% of cases, external action is sufficient, but trained doctors and midwives also use intra-pelvic manipulations. “I have treated dozens of women for infertility problems. The ideal is to consult just after menstruation or before ovulation: 2 or 3 sessions spaced from 15 days to a month can be sufficient. implantation of the egg during assisted reproduction. menstrual pain“ underlines the expert.
It wards off the effects of post-traumatic stress
Accident, psychological shock … Certain traumas are imprinted on the body. They are then expressed in the form of pain or other symptoms. “I think of a woman in her thirties, who came for regular back pain and a sprain. I learned that the day her father died, she had become deaf in one ear and her period was breaking down. were stopped. Spinal and visceral work to revive her genital system enabled her to regain her periods and her hearing in 3-4 months and less than 10 sessions “, remembers Gérard Longuet. Sometimes the result is even faster, as for this woman who suffered from migraines and neck pain following a car accident: 2 sessions were enough to relieve it.
Osteopathy can reduce the number of psoriasis attacks
Chronic inflammatory skin disease, psoriasis is influenced by stress which can cause plaques to reappear. At first glance, the link with osteopathy does not seem obvious … However, the technique obtains good results.
“I have treated many cases, including this man who had a giant first outbreak of psoriasis at the age of 8, when his parents told him he was going to boarding school, then again at 40, after the fatal accident of his daughter. I restarted the circulation of blood and fluids, rebalanced thermoregulation and emotions ” indicates Gérard Longuet. “After one session every two weeks for 2 months, then one appointment a month for a year, his psoriasis had improved a lot”.
