05 · LES APPROCHES COMPLÉMENTAIRES

L’ostéopathie ne règle pas tout

Other conditions such as herniated discs, bulging discs or discopathy (disc compression) respond better to our spinal decompression therapy than to conventional osteopathic treatment. Bursitis, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, sprains, carpal tunnel and other inflammatory conditions respond better to laser. Finally, conditions where calcification is involved, such as calcifying bursitis or heel spur, respond better to Shockwave therapy treatments.

When to Consult Another Specialist

It is crucial to understand that osteopathy, while effective for a variety of conditions, is not a one-size-fits-all solution for all health ailments. For example, conditions like disc herniation or inflammatory diseases may require a more specialized medical approach or surgical interventions. In such cases, our osteopaths at Clinique TAGMED are trained to recognize the limitations of their field and will refer you to other medical specialists for more targeted diagnosis and treatment.

Interdisciplinary collaboration is at the heart of our philosophy of care at the TAGMED Clinic. If your condition requires expertise that osteopathy cannot provide, we have a network of medical specialists with whom we work closely. Whether for radiological examinations, rheumatology consultations, or surgical procedures, our goal is to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatment for your specific condition.

06 · LE TRAITEMENT MANUEL

Osteopathy, a gentle and effective treatment

Osteopathy is a gentle and effective treatment for everyone that taps into the body's ability to heal itself. Osteopaths act directly on this self-healing capacity through manual treatment.

07 · LES FONDEMENTS

Osteopathy, a unique therapy

Based on the work of pioneer AT Still, osteopathy is a therapy that relies on manual contact for diagnosis and treatment. Osteopathy removes tension and restrictions in the body to promote structural and physiological harmony. It respects the relationship between body and mind. Although in the family of manual medicines, osteopathy differs from other therapies such as massage, chiropractic or physiotherapy, especially in its philosophy and in its treatment techniques. The most competent osteopaths

The TAGMED Clinic is committed to rigorous professional standards and membership criteria that ensure public safety by providing osteopaths with the highest level of training in manual osteopathy. The TAGMED Clinic maintains an open and inclusive dialogue with osteopaths, educators, associations and the government to ensure that it hires the best osteopaths available. The TAGMED Clinic continues to work to develop awareness of osteopathy and the osteopathic community.What is osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a profession that makes extensive use of manual diagnosis and treatment guided by the principles set forth by its founder, Andrew Taylor Still. Osteopathy emphasizes the relationship between the structure and function of the body. Osteopaths are functional anatomists who use manual therapy. Osteopaths focus on health care, rather than focusing on disease. In summary, osteopathic treatment aims to restore proper body mechanics, nerve impulses and circulation of body fluids.

08 · LA THÉRAPIE MANUELLE

What is Osteopathic Manual Therapy?

The osteopaths at TAGMED Clinic are osteopaths who practice manual therapies. Osteopaths adhere to the theory that imbalances in human structure contribute to or are directly related to the development and/or maintenance of disease. Anatomy and physiology are the basis of osteopathic treatment. Osteopaths recognize that the human body has the ability to regulate and heal itself, if we strive to provide it with what it needs to maintain its health. Our role is to encourage this self-healing capacity through manual treatment by acting on the structure and physiology of the human body. We let nature do its work, that is to say, to eliminate all obstacles that could hinder the proper functioning of the cells that make up the body's tissues. Understanding and adjusting the anatomical unity of the human structure is our job.

09 · LE PROFESSIONNEL

What is an osteopath?

Les ostéopathes sont éduqués et formés pour travailler exclusivement sans l’utilisation de médicaments ou de la chirurgie, en utilisant des méthodes manuelles pour le diagnostic et le traitement. C’est la principale méthode d’enseignement dans le monde, en dehors des États-Unis, et c’est ce qui est actuellement pratiqué au Canada. Ce parcours en ostéopathie manuelle est distinct de celui d’un médecin titulaire du diplôme américain de Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.

10 · LES FORMATIONS

Qu’est-ce qu’un docteur en ostéopathie ?

Sylvain Desforges est docteur en ostéopathie (D.O.). Son doctorat en ostéopathie, présenté dans son parcours de formation, concerne l’ostéopathie manuelle. Cette formation est centrée sur l’évaluation fonctionnelle, les techniques manuelles et l’approche globale de la personne.

Le doctorat en ostéopathie et le diplôme américain de médecine ostéopathique correspondent à deux formations distinctes. Aux États-Unis, le Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, également abrégé D.O., est un diplôme de médecine qui mène à la profession de médecin, avec une formation médicale et une résidence. Cette filière américaine est différente de la formation en ostéopathie manuelle de Sylvain Desforges.

Sur ce site, l’appellation « Sylvain Desforges, docteur en ostéopathie » désigne donc sa qualification en ostéopathie. Elle ne signifie pas qu’il est titulaire du diplôme américain de Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. Pour comprendre le parcours d’un professionnel, il faut considérer l’intitulé complet du diplôme, l’établissement qui l’a délivré et le domaine de pratique, plutôt que les seules initiales D.O.

11 · L’OSTÉOPATHIE SPÉCIFIQUE

We are experts in specific osteopathy

Specific osteopathy is a precise, personalized approach that relies on detailed diagnosis and medical imaging to deliver effective treatment. It requires a high level of skill on the part of the practitioner to target the patient's health problems more specifically, and thus offer faster, more effective results. This method aims to treat structural and functional imbalances in the body, using a range of manual techniques adapted to each case. The specific approach not only relieves painful symptoms, but also tackles the root causes of disorders, promoting more complete and lasting healing.

By incorporating the latest advances in medical imaging, specific osteopathy offers an in-depth understanding of the patient's anatomy and physiology, enabling a more refined diagnosis and more precise adjustment of treatment. This precision in therapeutic approach optimizes the body's response to treatment, reducing the time needed to observe significant improvements.

Specific osteopathy is particularly effective for a wide range of conditions, including chronic back problems, herniated discs, sciatica, postural disorders, as well as joint and muscle pain. It is also beneficial for improving bodily functions, contributing to an overall improvement in health and well-being.

Specific osteopathic treatment begins with a comprehensive patient assessment, including a detailed history, physical examination and, if necessary, imaging studies. This comprehensive assessment enables the osteopath to develop a personalized treatment plan, specifically targeting each patient's unique needs. Treatment sessions may include a variety of techniques, such as gentle manipulations, mobilization techniques, and myofascial release methods, all aimed at restoring balance and optimal function to the body.

In short, specific osteopathy represents an evolution in osteopathic practice, offering a more focused, scientifically-based approach to the treatment of musculoskeletal and other disorders. It emphasizes the importance of a thorough understanding of body mechanics and underlying pathology to achieve effective and lasting healing, underlining the osteopath's crucial role as a health partner dedicated to the overall well-being of his or her patients.

12 · LA COMPLÉMENTARITÉ

The synergy of osteopathy and spinal decompression therapy

Introduction to therapeutic synergy

Osteopathy and spinal decompression therapy are two therapeutic approaches that, although different in their application, can be complementary in the treatment of various musculoskeletal conditions. Osteopathy focuses on harmonizing body structure and facilitating self-healing, while spinal decompression therapy aims to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. When used in conjunction, these two methods can provide synergy that maximizes therapeutic results, particularly for conditions like herniated discs, chronic back pain, and postural disorders.

Benefits of combining the two therapies

The combination of osteopathy and spinal decompression therapy allows for a more holistic approach to treatment. For example, spinal decompression therapy can effectively relieve pressure on a herniated disc, while osteopathy can help rebalance surrounding structures to prevent recurrence. This synergy not only allows for faster relief of symptoms, but also better prevention of recurrence by addressing the underlying causes of the condition being treated. Thus, the patient benefits from a more complete and lasting treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Specific osteopathy

  • How can specific osteopathy treat pain associated with a herniated disc?

    Specific osteopathy focuses on restoring balance and mobility to the body, treating structural and muscular imbalances to relieve pressure on spinal discs and promote natural healing. However, it cannot resolve a herniated disc on its own: spinal decompression must be combined with osteopathy to obtain good results.

  • What is specific osteopathy?

    Osteopathy is a manual therapy technique that involves manipulating the body to reduce pain, uncover dysfunctions and restore joint mechanics. Two very distinct osteopathic approaches are specific osteopathy and classical osteopathy. Specific osteopathy is a more modern approach, using evidence-based findings and current technologies, while classical osteopathy returns to the original form, using deeper manipulation of the body and relying on the osteopath's intuition and experience. 

    Osteopathy is different from the osteopathy classical: it is a unique form of manual medicine focusing on the precise treatment of dysfunctions, musculoskeletal treatments scientists based on evidence. This technique aims to reduce the aches and pains, while offering many of the patients mobility. Osteopaths also attach importance to the general state of health, taking into account the mode of life and emotional states before choosing an appropriate treatment plan. It is particularly suited to those who prefer the natural alternatives to medical treatment because osteopathy is not just to bring relief, but also encourages the well-being in the long term.

    Osteopaths are specific practitioners highly qualified who do not use their hands to assess and treat various physical dysfunctions of the body: they also use brain scans (X-rays, MRI, ct or ultrasound) and in the complementary therapy of high technology. His treatments are very specific to the condition of the patient and, therefore, much more efficient and safer. 

    For example, a herniated disc cannot be treated with conventional structural osteopathic mobilization. Although this technique may provide some short-term relief, it offers no medium- or long-term benefit. However, numerous clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of spinal decompression therapy for treating herniated discs.
