Lower limbs Musculoskeletal Pain – pathology and treatment by Acupuncture and Osteopathy

Seminar description:
Musculoskeletal pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in my own clinic.
In my experience, Acupuncture and Osteopathic medicine are two effective techniques. They work synergistically in treating pain.
Often pain is generically reported to a small or a widespread area of a joint, together with some stiffness and it can be difficult to identify the specific acupuncture channel involved in musculoskeletal pain.
Osteopathic manipulative treatment’s aim is to bring back joints in their physiological position, reduce pain and limitation of the movement, and help to identify the channel that needs to be treated with Acupuncture.
