Osteopathy in gynecology
Typical applications of osteopathy in the
Gynecology includes:
-
Menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea), treatment-resistant
Lower abdominal pain and cycle-related discomfort such as
Ovulation pain -
Support during pregnancy and postpartum care
childbirth, for the relief of back pain and for
Supporting pelvic floor regeneration -
Treatment of scarring and adhesions after
Surgeries that often lead to lower abdominal discomfort -
Chronic recurring bladder infections,
Bladder weakness and prolapse symptoms -
Pelvic floor insufficiency and stress incontinence
Patients who frequently suffer from severe cycle-related pain
Suffering can be alleviated through regular osteopathic treatments.
Experience relief without side effects – an alternative to
Analgesics or hormonal therapies. Osteopathic methods
are also a good choice for preventing discomfort during
and after pregnancy, as well as to support the body
in cases of persistent hormonal changes, for example in the
Menopause.
This holistic treatment approach offers patients with difficult-to-treat, chronic gynecological conditions a gentle and comprehensive option for relief. Osteopathy ideally complements conventional gynecology, enabling a more comprehensive treatment that strengthens both the body and overall well-being.
The significance of osteopathy in gynecological treatment has only been fully recognized and researched by modern medicine in the last few decades. Through osteopathy's holistic approach, patients and their complaints are considered comprehensively, not only to alleviate symptoms but also to address the underlying causes. Gynecological complaints rarely occur in isolation – they are often indicative of deeper, complex changes within the body. Osteopathic treatments palpate for blockages and adhesions in the tissue, which are then specifically released to support the body's self-regulation.
Current studies show that osteopathy offers numerous benefits, particularly when combined with gynecological therapies. A meta-analysis from Switzerland (2022) demonstrated that osteopathic manipulation therapy (OMT), as a complement to clinical gynecological treatments, has the potential to significantly improve various conditions, such as menstrual irregularities and menopausal symptoms. OMT has also proven helpful for pregnant women and newborns, both preventively and for treating acute conditions. Targeted osteopathic techniques gently mobilize tissue and improve blood flow, thereby activating the body's own regenerative powers and stimulating healing processes.
