Osteopathy
Searching for an Osteopath in Singapore?
If you’re browsing for an osteopath Singapore or an osteopathy clinic Singapore, you probably have questions about how osteopathy works, how it compares to chiropractic or physiotherapy, and whether it’s suited to your condition. At Elite Spine Centres, we pride ourselves on providing evidence-based, patient-centred care that can integrate seamlessly with other therapies when needed.
Understanding Your Options
When choosing an osteopathy clinic in Singapore, here are a few criteria to keep in mind:
-
Credentials & registration: Make sure your practitioner is properly trained, certified, and registered under relevant professional bodies.
-
Comprehensive assessment: The clinic should take time to evaluate your full movement, posture, and functional patterns, not just the painful spot.
-
Range of techniques: A clinic that offers soft tissue work, joint mobilisations, visceral or cranial techniques and rehabilitative exercises offers more flexibility to tailor treatment.
-
Holistic plan: The best osteopathy centres look beyond immediate pain relief and consider long-term correction, prevention, and education.
-
Collaborative care: Sometimes combination with chiropractic, physiotherapy, or other modalities is beneficial.
Singapore today is home to many reputable osteopathy clinics, such as Edge Healthcare (combining physio + osteopathy) (Edge Healthcare Pte Ltd), Next Health & Fitness (an evidence-based osteopathic & rehabilitation clinic) (Next Health), and the Osteopathy Treatment Centre at Orchard (Osteopathy). Each clinic offers slightly different blends of techniques, but all underscore the fundamental osteopathic philosophy: treat the body as a whole, not a collection of isolated symptoms.
Osteopathy and Chiropractic: A Shared Philosophy of Healing
Osteopathy and chiropractic share much of a foundational belief: the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and restoring proper biomechanical alignment, mobility, and neurological balance helps unlock that capacity. Both approaches emphasise manual therapy, movement, and structural integrity over simply masking symptoms with medication.
Because of that shared philosophy, you’ll often see chiropractors and osteopaths collaborating or cross-referring clients, especially in integrated spine or movement clinics. In fact, in some settings, it’s not unusual for a patient to receive osteopathic soft-tissue release one session, and controlled joint manipulation the next, guided by a comprehensive plan of care.
At Elite Spine Centres, we often work in hybrid models: combining our signature Functional Correction Method (FCM) with osteopathic principles, to deliver coordinated relief and structural restoration. (You may already see references to how our chiropractic team integrates modalities with other manual therapies.)
Endogenous Opioid Theory of Pain
Humans naturally produce endorphins, which are endogenous opioids that are spontaneously released in reaction to pain. The Super Inductive System stimulates nerve endings using frequencies ranging from 2 to 10 Hz, prompting the production and release of analgesic opioids for pain relief.
Thus, it has been observed that SIS therapy leads to immediate relief for chronic conditions such as back pain or neck pain.
Gate Control Theory of Pain
Your brain receives pain signals via nerve fibres and the ‘spinal gate’. Small-diameter nerve fibres open the spinal gate and input pain. The fibres end in a large diameter, where the pain signal outputs through to reach the brain. The large-diameter nerve fibres can be stimulated to close the spinal gate, preventing pain from travelling to the central nervous system.
The Super Inductive System stimulates the treated area at frequencies between 60 and 100 Hz and is particularly helpful for acute musculoskeletal pain management.
Peripheral Pattern Theory of Pain
Pain is transmitted to the brain as coded information via the peripheral nervous system, where it is decoded and processed. When the Super Inductive System stimulates painful conditions with high 120–140 Hz frequencies, the coded information is not interpreted as pain.
Thus, the SIS uses a triple combination, of sorts, to help patients with their pain relief and allow them to start other rehabilitative therapy sooner than they could otherwise.
Benefits of Super Inductive System
Joint Mobilisation
Joint mobilisation is a gentle repetitive movement to relieve blockage or adhesions in the joints of the skeletal system. This may be in the spine or other joints as well.
Myostimulation
The BLT Super Inductive System can be utilised to prevent muscle tissue deterioration and maintain or strengthen muscles.
Fracture Healing
The healing process of the fractures usually takes about six weeks. During this period, it is desirable to boost blood circulation, which will support fracture healing process by enhancing the formation of the new bone.
Spasticity Reduction
A combination of relaxation and consequent stimulation of affected muscle groups is desirable to decrease spasticity related to musculoskeletal and neurological disorders.
