Osteopathic Treatment :
S$110 for first consultation / $90 for subsequent treatments
Our fully qualified professional osteopaths employ a range of osteopathic manipulation techniques (OMT) from both classical and modern schools of osteopathy. These include:
Minimum adjustment technique
Cranial osteopathy (popularly known as cranial sacral therapy)
Muscle energy technique
Strain and counterstrain
Osteopathic treatment is non-invasive, painless and safe. Only the skilled hands of a trained osteopath are used for manipulation and no mechanical devices or machines are employed.
The treatment usually involves a relaxation of relevant muscles and gentle work on joints to improve movement and mobility. Each treatment is customized to suit the patient’s needs.
As osteopathy is a holistic approach to health, the osteopath may also advise on ways to modify lifestyle to prevent further problems. The osteopath may also suggest simple exercises that can help in the healing process.
Depending on the problem, most patients will receive maximum benefit from five to seven treatments. Some require as few as one or two treatment sessions. However those with serious problems - such as scoliosis or abnormal curvature of the spine, or children with physical and intellectual developmental problems - may require regular treatment over several months.
Each treatment session typically lasts 20 to 30 minutes. The osteopath will spend as much time as is needed by the patient, but will not prolong the treatment session unnecessarily.
Finally, the osteopath may refer the patient to other health practitioners such as:
chiropodist for foot related problems
acupuncturist for pain relief
homeopath for common ailments
clinical nutritionist for diet related ailments
remedial massage practitioner for muscle relaxation
kinesiologist for functional and developmental problems
hypnotherapist for psychological problems such as phobia.
The services of these other practitioners are offered by the Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CCAM) an associate company of Osteopathic Treatment Centre.
