Evidence based pain management and rehabilitation
The osteopractic philosophy
‘Osteopractic’ is a sub-specialty within physical therapy that represents a different approach to interventional care. An osteopractic physical therapist is a specialist who has advanced post-graduate qualifications in physical therapy and has undergone specialized training in the application of spinal and extremity thrust manipulation, dry needling, instrument assisted manual therapies and differential diagnoses in order to treat different types of musculoskeletal conditions with faster and better outcomes.
Rather than identifying simply as ‘general’, ‘regular’ or ‘conventional’ physical therapy, osteopractic physical therapy more accurately describes the kind of physical therapy services being offered so that the public, and professional colleagues alike, can make informed choices about selecting – or referring to the appropriate practitioner – based on the patient’s presenting condition.
For instance, instead of a general practitioner, you tend to seek out a dermatologist if you have a skin condition, an orthopedist following a fracture or a pediatrician if your child requires medical attention. Likewise, there are certain conditions that are amenable to ostepractic care such as; Cervicogenic Headache, Migraines, Temporomandibular joint pain (jaw pain), Neck pain, Adhesive Capsulitis (frozen shoulder), Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), Medial Epicondylitis (Golfer’s Elbow), Achille’s tendinitis, Knee Osteoarthritis, and Plantar Fasciitis.
If you (or anyone you know) has any of these conditions, you’d be better served seeking out an osteopractor.
