Holistic Recovery: Aligning the Body’s Structure to Restore Natural Function
Are you looking for a treatment that looks at the "big picture" of your health? Osteopathic Manual Therapy at Brentwood Chiropractic Group is a unique, hands-on approach that treats the body as a single, functional unit. By focusing on the relationship between your bones, muscles, and internal systems, our practitioners help your body return to its natural state of balance.
What is Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is built on the principle that your body’s structure directly dictates its ability to function. When one part of the body is restricted—whether it’s a stiff joint, a strained ligament, or the connective tissue surrounding an organ—the rest of the system is forced to compensate. Over time, these compensations manifest as pain, inflammation, and reduced mobility.
At Brentwood Chiropractic Group, our Osteopathic Practitioners utilize gentle, precise manual techniques to:
-
Improve Joint Mobility: Restoring fluid movement to the spine and limbs.
-
Optimize Circulation: Ensuring blood and lymphatic fluids flow freely to accelerate natural healing.
-
Balance the Nervous System: Calming the "fight or flight" stress response to promote systemic recovery.
Why Choose Osteopathy?
Osteopathy is often the "missing piece" for patients who have struggled to find relief through traditional medical routes. It is particularly effective for:
-
Complex Chronic Pain: Identifying and treating sources of pain that aren't always easy to pinpoint.
-
Digestive & Respiratory Issues: Addressing physical restrictions that can impede internal organ function.
-
Concussion & Migraine Support: Utilizing gentle cranio-sacral techniques to alleviate pressure and tension.
-
Postural Alignment: Correcting structural imbalances caused by old injuries or the habits of daily life.

At Brentwood Chiropractic Group, we believe in the power of collaboration. Our Osteopathic Practitioners work as an integral part of our team, alongside our Chiropractors and Registered Massage Therapists (RMTs). By blending these disciplines, we provide a 360-degree approach to your wellness, ensuring every layer of your health is addressed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does it differ from Chiropractic?
While Chiropractic care often focuses on joint alignment and the nervous system, Osteopathy looks at the global movement of all tissues, including fascia and internal organs.
​
Is it covered by insurance?
Most extended health plans in BC cover Osteopathic Manual Therapy. We recommend checking with your specific provider for details.
​
Does it hurt?
Not at all. Osteopathy is known for being exceptionally gentle; it works with your body’s resistance rather than forcing a correction.
