What is Osteopathy
Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy, was born in 1828 in Jonesboro, Virginia, and lead a multifaceted life as a frontier doctor, naturalist, hunter, philosopher, inventor, and mechanic. Drawing from his experiences in the wilderness to shape his scientific exploration of osteopathy, his path was also influenced by personal tragedies within medicine. These experiences lead him to establish the American School of Osteopathy in Kirksville, Missouri in 1892.
Osteopathic treatment is guided by four core tenets that serve as the foundational principles guiding the practice and philosophy of osteopathy.
Unity of the Body
The body is an interconnected unit where everything is interrelated. Its entirety is more significant than the individual components it comprises.
Structure and Function
The relationship between structure and function is reciprocal. When a structure or body part is injured or compromised, it affects the overall function of the body, and vice versa. Similarly, an organ or system's dysfunction can impact the surrounding structures like the spine and biomechanics.
Self-regulating and Self-healing Mechanism
The body possesses innate mechanisms for self-regulation and self-healing. Osteopathy plays a crucial role in removing barriers that hinder these inherent healing processes.
Rule of the Artery
Proper circulation of blood vessels, nerves, lymph, and other fluids is essential for tissue maintenance, health, and vitality. Just as a kinked hose impedes watering a garden, inhibited circulation can affect the body's well-being.
Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a holistic system of healthcare that emphasizes the interrelationship between the body’s structure and its function, with a focus on the body’s innate ability to heal itself.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical practice that involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapeutic technique that involves placing suction cups on the skin to create a vacuum, which helps improve blood flow, alleviate muscle tension, and promote relaxation.
PEMF Mat
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field mats are therapeutic devices that emit electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cellular activity and support various health benefits, including pain relief, improved circulation, and enhanced overall well-being.
Pet Treatment
Animal osteopathic treatment is a holistic healthcare approach that applies osteopathic principles and manual techniques to animals to promote their physical well-being, address musculoskeletal issues, and support overall health.
Distance Treatments
Also known as remote or distant healing, are therapeutic practices in which energy, intention, or healing techniques are transmitted from a practitioner to a recipient who is not physically present.

I have known Ms. Nesrallah for almost twenty years. She is a very awake and dedicated person. She pays very close attention to her clients and genuinely cares for their health, mental and physical. She is very dedicated to her profession and is always learning and improving. Candice can be trusted and relied upon in a crisis.
Clarifying techniques in the field
Candice has taken a huge assignment and clarified for osteopaths who use potency in their work a clearer definition of just what that means.
