TESTIMONIALS

"Many of us have visited the Osteopathic Treatment Centre, which cares for adults, children and even babies specifically, and came out feeling great. They are reasonably priced, though it is more expensive than general medicine fees. Most importantly, they are reasonable on the number of sessions needed and don't push for work."

DAVID TIO, osteopath, established Osteopathic Treatment Centre (OTC) in 1984 as the first holistic health clinic in Singapore to offer natural pain relief through osteopathy – without the use of pain killers and prescription drugs.

Osteopathic Treatment Centre is Singapore's premier holistic health practice for the treatment of musculoskeletal aches and pain, sports injuries and many other health issues.

David and his osteopath colleagues have, since 1984, successfully provided immediate and long-term osteopathic pain relief to more than 30,000 people in Singapore.

There are currently three osteopaths in the practice covering a wide range of treatment styles and osteopathic healthcare. There is also a resident podiatrist / chiropodist.

Osteopathy and podiatry / chiropody commonly go hand-in-hand to diagnose and treat many complaints associated with poor foot mechanics, which frequently lead to postural imbalances resulting in aches and pains elsewhere in the body.

Osteopathic Treatment Centre works with the Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CCAM) (www.complementarymedicine.com.sg), with more than a dozen healthcare professionals offering a wide range of therapies – Acupuncture, Applied Kinesiology, Bowen Technique, Clinical Nutrition, Homeopathy, Hypnotherapy, Integrated Corrective Exercises, Myofascial Therapy, Pilates, Podiatry & Chiropody, Therapeutic Massage, Naturopathy and Pulsed Magnetic Resonance.

Our osteopaths and other health practitioners also work closely with other medical and healthcare professionals. Thus, we are able to provide you with – or refer you to – the most appropriate treatment for whatever health challenges you may have.

The clinic is fully-equipped with state-of the-art diagnostic equipment to screen scoliosis (curvature of the spine) and flat feet.

We are the only health practice in Singapore to assess spinal anomalies using the Spinal Analysis Machine (SAM), giving a real measurement for unequal leg lengths, scoliosis, left-right weight imbalance and abnormal lordosis.


In addition, we stock a wide range of high quality vitamin / mineral and herbal supplements that will support and enhance your well-being. We are fully qualified to recommend the appropriate supplements that best suit your needs.

WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?

Osteopathy is a form of manipulation therapy, or manual therapy.

An osteopath works only with his / her hands, using a range of techniques – pressure, stretching, manipulation, etc – to correct imbalances in the body's musculoskeletal structure.

By restoring the body to balance, an osteopath is able to provide immediate and long term pain relief.

Osteopathy is widely recognised as an effective treatment for a wide range of aches and pain, including:
. • Headache & migraine
• Stiff neck
• Whiplash injuries
• "Frozen" or stiff shoulders
• Trapped nerve
• Arm pain
• Tennis elbow
• Wrist and hand pain
• Lower back pain
• Back pain during pregnancy
• Slipped disc
• Hip, thigh and knee problems
• Calf, shin, ankle, foot pain
• Sciatica
• Scoliosis or spinal curvature
• Arthritis pain / stiffness
• Sports injuries.
As body functions are related to the musculoskeletal structure, an osteopath is also able to correct functional disorders such as:
. • asthma and other respiratory disorders
• digestive disorders
• developmental, learning and behavioral disorders in children, such as autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
In the US, UK, Australia and many European countries, osteopaths are mainstream healthcare practitioners,

Osteopathic healthcare qualifies for insurance reimbursement in most countries, including Singapore.

Osteopathic treatment is gentle, painless and safe.

Throughout the history of osteopathy, ever since it was founded by Dr Andrew Taylor Still in 1872, there has never been any known case of death or serious injury resulting from osteopathic treatment.

For acute conditions, one or two treatments will usually provide relief. For chronic conditions, you may need regular treatments over a period of time.

Osteopathy and chiropractic share a common philosophy about the importance of the spine.

Osteopaths use a wider range of manipulation techniques than chiropractors.
