In osteopathic philosophy, the body is seen as a holistic unit encompassing body, mind, and spirit. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of all physiological functions, setting it apart from conventional medicine, which often focuses on dissecting the body into isolated parts. This unity also defines health as a state where all bodily functions work harmoniously. Osteopathic medicine believes in the body’s innate ability to regulate, heal, and maintain health, making it central to their manual practices. Understanding the intricate relationship between structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) at all levels, from molecules to tissues, guides osteopathic evaluation and manipulative treatments. Ultimately, osteopathic medicine promotes health by aligning with these principles and employing hands-on treatments that leverage structural-based approaches to relieve suffering and enhance overall function.
Osteopaths like Dr. Millerwho specialize in the “cranial field” have some unique skills up their sleeves. They focus on working with the bones in your head (the cranium), the protective layers around your brain (the meninges), the fluids in your body, and most importantly, your central nervous system (that’s your brain) to understand and treat you as a whole person. This unique approach, often called cranial osteopathy, is like an extra toolkit that Dr. Miller has to help him address your overall well-being more comprehensively.
