What does a manual practioner in Osteopathy actually do?

"An osteopath might be likened to an engineer, a watchsmith of the organism, who not only evaluates and treats the causes of dysfunction, but also verifies preventively all the necessary mechanisms and systems of our physiology, which rule the balance and health of a

Human Being."

Philippe Druelle, D.O.

When a patient comes for a consultation, the osteopath will listen to the complaint, the reason for consulting him and take a complete case history.

After the traditional Osteopath examines the complementary findings (X-Rays, Scan, lab reports etc.) they will inquire about any other treatment already in progress or previously undergone.

In this way referrals can be made to the appropriated medical practitioner if required.
