General
and Paediatric
Osteopathy.
The Kingsport Osteopathic Clinic was founded
in 1996 by osteopathic manual practitioner
Sarah Hayes and has become a popular destination for patients seeking gentle, effective,
restorative health care. Many patients have
reported great results for a variety of problems
in only a few treatments.
The Clinic employs Canadian and European
trained osteopathic manual practitioners and
offers clinical experience to osteopaths in
training. Techniques such as cranio-sacral,
visceral, myofascial, fluidic, lymphatic and
osteoarticular manipulation are utilized. We
also provide highly qualified massage therapists specializing in reflexology, relaxation and
deep tissue techniques.
All ages and conditions are treated, however,
Sarah Hayes specializes in paediatric osteopathic manual practice. She presently teaches
for the College d'Etudes Osteopathiques de
Montreal and is a founding member of the
Canadian Federation of Osteopaths.

Nova Scotia College of Chiropractors
C
hiropractors are highly skilled primary health care providers
with extensive education and training. Doctors of Chiropractic in Nova Scotia are licensed by the Nova Scotia College of
Chiropractors and regulated by the Chiropractic Act of Nova Scotia.
Chiropractors are considered neuromusculoskeletal specialists,
or in plain terms, chiropractors specialize in the treatment of disorders related to joints, nerves and muscles of the body, particularly the spine. The hallmark of chiropractic care usually involves
“spinal adjustments”, however, other treatment modalities may
be utilized including ice, soft tissue therapy, electrotherapy (i.e.
muscle stimulation), exercise programs, nutritional advice, supports, ergonomic advice, lifestyle recommendations or orthotics.
Extensive research studies have demonstrated chiropractic to be
effective in the treatment of conditions such as neck pain, back
pain, headaches, whiplash, hip pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain,
just to name a few.

Naturopathic medicine is a unique and comprehensive
approach to improving health and treating illness. Focusing on prevention and addressing the cause of illness,
naturopathic doctors (NDs) combine scientific knowledge
with traditional healing wisdom to support and stimulate
the body‚Äôs ability to heal itself. NDs often collaborate
with other health care professionals, and treatment is
complementary to other forms of health care, including conventional medical treatment. The therapies used
by NDs include: clinical nutrition, botanical medicine,
lifestyle counseling, acupuncture and Chinese medicine,
homeopathy, and physical therapies. Services are covered
by most workplace and private health insurance plans.

Manual Practice Osteopathic studies
“Osteopathy is a natural medicine which restores
function to the organism by treating the causes
of pain and imbalance…”
Philippe Druelle, D.O.
Osteopathy, a discipline in demand
Osteopathic education emphasizes the transmission of the art of
osteopathic palpation. This ability, to treat the human body at a highly
sophisticated manual level, is what distinguishes Osteopathy from all other
forms of medicine and therapy. Given the increasing need for qualified
health professionals, osteopaths benefit from interesting career
perspectives. Osteopathy could be the career you are looking for.
The CEO’s Halifax program began in 2001
This 5 year program (6 seminars / year) is designed for health-care
professionals to gain experience and evolve their practices while studying.
The practice of traditional manual osteopathy requires a fine touch, a gentle
heart, and a desire to learn. The emphasis at the College is to ensure that
the hand-to-hand transmission of traditional osteopathy is preserved.
Our lead instructors hold a specialization in certain aspects of the program
to ensure that the knowledge passed on is of the highest quality.
Successful graduates of the CEO receive a Diploma in Osteopathic
