The Pedro Caparros osteopathy consultancy provides its patients with osteopathic treatment, the techniques of which are, under no circumstances, aggressive to the patient or aggressive in relation to diagnosis or treatment.
It must be borne in mind that osteopathy is based on the different interactions between organs, musculature and bone system, and that the human organism as a whole constitutes the environment for each and every one of its parts, with each organ affecting all those that surround it.
The cornerstone for diagnosis is the study of the mastication or chewing function and the swallowing function. The reasons for this are:
The human being spends some 60 - 90 minutes a day on mastication
The human being swallows some 1.200 times each day (swallowing saliva)
The mastication and swallowing muscles participate in the movement of the spine.
A disorder in mastication and/or swallowing will consequently affect the movement of the spine.
