Specialising in the Natural Treatment of Pain
Charlotta Östing is a doctor of naprapathy, acupuncturist, kinesiologist and certified Ashtanga and Naam yoga instructor from Sweden, with over 20 years of experience. One of only three practitioners of naprapathy in Spain, she divides her time between Sweden and Spain, mainly specialising in the treatment of pain. “There are many causes of pain,” she notes, “and I look upon each patient as a unique mystery to be solved.”
Naprapathy is a kind of manual medicine similar to chiropractic or osteopathy that treats not only the joints but also the muscles, tendons and connective tissue in order to achieve a long-lasting result. “If the patient allows it (they almost always do) I will also use acupuncture as a tool to get deeper into the problematic area. According to Chinese medicine, the most common cause of pain is stagnated/blocked energy along one of the 14 meridians/energy channels which are linked to the inner organs… Then we have Indian tradition with ayurveda and yoga where you speak of seven chakras-energy centres along the spine – each connected to specific functions and feelings. Last but not least, our diet is more important than we think… Doctors in China and India always advise their patients what to eat and what to avoid. You should let your food be your medicine (and yoga your therapy).”
