As a certified French osteopath, American Mission Hospital’s Christopher Diciolla utilises a variety of techniques to improve mobility, reduce pain, increase functional capabilities and promote the body’s natural healing process.
These techniques include manual manipulation, soft tissue release and cranio-sacral therapy.
“Osteopathy is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on restoring the body’s natural balance and function,” explains Mr Diciolla.
“By addressing the root cause of a problem, rather than just the symptoms, we can help patients achieve lasting relief.”
Osteopathy differs from physiotherapy in several key ways. While both disciplines involve manual therapy techniques, osteopathy takes a full-bodied alternate approach, focusing on the body’s overall balance and function. Physiotherapy, on the other hand, often takes a more symptom-based approach, focusing on specific exercises and treatments to address particular conditions.
Additionally, osteopaths typically have a broader scope of practice, addressing a wider range of tissues and structures within the body.
“One of the key principles of osteopathy is the belief that the body is a complex system where each part influences the other,” Mr Diciolla continues.
“By addressing any structural imbalances, we can help to improve overall health and well-being.”
Mr Diciolla’s approach is particularly effective for a wide range of conditions, including back pain, joint pain, headaches, sports injuries and stress-related conditions.
“Osteopathy is a gentle and non-invasive treatment that can benefit people of all ages, including newborns,” Mr Diciolla adds.
“It’s a great option for those who are looking for a natural and holistic approach to their healthcare.”
One of the unique aspects of osteopathy is its focus on the body’s self-healing abilities.
“The human body is incredibly resilient,” Mr Diciolla explains.
“When given the right conditions, it can often heal itself. Osteopathy helps to create those conditions by removing any obstacles that may be preventing the healing process.”
Diciolla’s approach is also tailored to each individual patient’s needs.
“Every patient is unique, and their treatment plan should be as well,” he says.
“I take the time to understand each patient’s individual circumstances and develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses their specific needs.
“I believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy and fulfilling life,” Mr Diciolla says. “Osteopathy can help to make that a reality.”
