The benefits of Osteopathy before and after surgery
Osteopathy can be highly beneficial both in preparing the body to better accept surgery and in aiding post-operative recovery. This holistic approach helps ensure the perfect harmony of the tissues and organs involved in the operation.
Preparing the body for surgery
Before undergoing surgery, it is crucial to prepare the body, especially if the operation does not involve an organ with oncological symptoms. This preparation is essential not only for traditional surgeries involving incisions but also for endoscopic procedures.
Osteopathic treatment focuses on breaking down any adhesions that the body might have developed. Removing these adhesions as much as possible allows the surgeon to operate in a more elastic and free area, which can significantly improve surgical outcomes.
The role of Osteopathy post-surgery
While preparing the body before surgery is beneficial, post-operative osteopathic care is even more critical. After any surgical operation, the body produces a large number of fibroblasts, which are the main components of our extracellular matrix. Initially, this response helps protect the operated tissue or organ. However, over time, it can become dysfunctional. The adhesions that form can prevent adequate nutritional exchange to the affected tissue.
If left untreated, these adhesions can cause serious and debilitating issues, significantly impacting the body’s overall function. Osteopathy addresses these concerns, helping to break down adhesions and improve tissue health.
Enhancing Recovery with Osteopathy
Osteopathic care can lead to better responses and higher levels of recovery after surgery. By promoting the proper alignment and function of tissues and organs, osteopathy ensures that the body heals more efficiently and effectively. This holistic approach supports the body's natural healing processes, leading to a smoother and more complete recovery.
Conclusion
Incorporating osteopathy into the pre- and post-surgical care routine can significantly enhance the overall surgical experience. By preparing the body before surgery and addressing adhesions and tissue health afterward, osteopathy helps ensure better outcomes and a faster, more effective recovery. If you are preparing for surgery, consider consulting with an osteopath to support your body through the process and optimize your recovery.
Remember, osteopathic treatment should always be carried out in collaboration with and under the supervision of a medical professional to ensure comprehensive care and the best outcomes.
