Discover the approaches to care offered by independent practitioners at Saltpoint Health.
Manual osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach to care that considers the body as a whole. Rather than focusing only on the area where symptoms are experienced, osteopathic care considers how the body’s structure, movement, and different systems work together to influence overall function.
Through careful assessment and individualized manual techniques, practitioners work with the joints, muscles, fascia, and other tissues of the body to support mobility, circulation, and the body’s ability to adapt and recover.
Osteopathic care is individualized to each person, with treatment guided by assessment findings, current concerns, and goals for care.

OSTEOPATHY AT SALTPOINT
ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a therapeutic approach that uses the insertion of very fine, sterile needles at specific points on the body. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and used within contemporary healthcare settings, acupuncture can be used to address a variety of concerns related to pain, muscle tension, movement, and overall well-being.
Treatment is individualized and guided by your health history, current concerns, and goals for care. Depending on your needs, acupuncture points may be selected locally around an area of concern as well as in other areas of the body.
Acupuncture may be used independently or alongside other forms of care, with each treatment adapted to the individual and their response.
