Osteopath Juan Guillon on Friday said Osteopathic treatment can effectively complement conventional treatments and amplify its outcomes.

"The launch of the osteopathy clinic is a testament to the legacy of CK Birla Hospitals in pioneering integrative health care. Osteopathic treatment can help support and enhance nervous system function, balance the musculoskeletal system, promote optimal circulation, and improve coordination among the different bodily systems," he said.

Kolkata's CK Birla Hospitals announced the launch of its state-of-the-art Osteopathy Clinic last week.

Guillon made the remarks during the launch of the clinic in the East Indian city.

The facility is also available in Rukmani Birla Hospital, Jaipur.

Sombrata Roy, Unit Head, CMRI, said, "Our new Osteopathy clinic will further strengthen our capability to offer integrated and exceptional healthcare to patients. We are recognized for dynamic integration acrossvarious specialties, ensuring a well-rounded approach towards treatment."

 What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a drug-free, holistic, non-invasive manual therapy that aims to improve overall health by strengthening and engineering the musculoskeletal framework. Osteopathic treatments aim to positively affect the body’s nervous, circulatory, and lymphatic systems by emphasizing the body's structure and functional relationship. 

It treats numerous chronic and acute conditions and can also prevent chronic disorders by boosting the body's natural healing processes. Techniques include applying gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance.
