Electra Health

Downtown Vancouver Osteopathy

Electra Health is pleased to offer exceptional osteopathic treatments to the downtown Vancouver community. Our osteopathic practitioners seek to restore the optimal functioning of your body through the assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation of various conditions.

Osteopathy is unique in its approach: because our Vancouver osteopaths see every system – digestive, digestive, endocrine, musculoskeletal, etc. – of the body as working together, when one method isn’t working well, it affects other parts of your body.

And so, what you see in your body (back pain, knee pain, TMJ, eczema, anxiety, etc.) is often a symptom of a more significant issue. Osteopaths identify your symptoms and then look for their root causes – acting as a treatment and prevention!

Frequently Asked Questions

What will happen when I visit an Osteopathic practitioner?

In a first consultation, an Osteopathic Practitioner will compile a full case history of the patient’s symptoms, as well as information about their lifestyle and diet.

 

Osteopathic practitioners are trained to examine areas of the body using a highly developed sense of touch, called palpation, to determine conditions and identify the body’s points of weakness or excessive strain. Osteopathic Practitioners also observe the patient doing some simple movements to facilitate evaluation.

 

The patient will usually be asked to remove some of their clothing near the area of the body to be examined to allow postural assessment. If it would make you feel more comfortable, please bring a loose fitting top and shorts with you.

 

The Osteopathic practitioner will discuss the most appropriate treatment plan with the patient, estimating the likely number of sessions needed to treat the patient’s condition effectively (usually 4 – 6 treatments at weekly intervals but this can vary from patient to patient depending on to what degree the problem is chronic or acute). If the condition is unlikely to respond to Osteopathic treatment, the patient will be advised on how to seek further care.

 

Osteopathy is a ‘package’ of care that includes skilled mobilizing and manipulative techniques, reinforced by guidance on healthy lifestyle and exercise. The key to this is the aim of the Osteopathic practitioner to establish the sound patient-practitioner partnership necessary for ensuring quality care.
