Etiopathic Techniques
Etiopathic techniques are precise, rapid and targeted manual interventions aimed at restoring normal mechanical function. Vertebral and peripheral joint manipulations, visceral techniques, vascular techniques and traditional bone-setting: each gesture is justified by rigorous causal analysis.

Joint Manipulations
Joint manipulations are the core of etiopathic practice: high-velocity, low-amplitude (HVLA) thrusts to restore normal mobility. The etiopath works on the entire spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx) and peripheral joints (shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle).
Visceral Techniques
Specific pressures, mobilizations and manoeuvres on organs through abdominal or thoracic wall for digestive disorders (reflux, constipation), gynaecological issues (dysmenorrhoea) and ENT problems (chronic sinusitis).
Vascular Techniques
Pumping, compression-decompression and perivascular structure mobilization for optimal arterial, venous and lymphatic circulation.
Consultation Overview
30-45 minutes: thorough interview, clinical examination, etiopathic reasoning and manual treatment. Typically 1-3 sessions for acute issues, 3-6 for chronic conditions.
