I really like to go to any specialist on the recommendation of friends or acquaintances. And I also love to share my finds. My friends advised me to go to Dmitry Simkin. I twisted my leg unsuccessfully and got a sprain; the pain did not go away for several months. After the first session, I could already flutter like a butterfly. Dmitry Borisovich worked not only with the leg, but with the whole body. What I liked about this work was the holistic approach to the body, the fact that the doctor acts on the cause of the disease, and not on the symptom. After the first session, I also noticed that my painful periods went away, my legs stopped getting tired at the end of the working day, I also received such a pleasant bonus. I express my deep gratitude to Dmitry Borisovich for his high level of work.

I came here on the recommendation of a friend. And I am very grateful to her. I was immediately pleased with how we were greeted by the attentive staff. After the first session with Dmitry Borisovich, my son’s sleep returned to normal. In addition, he drew attention to problems that I was not aware of. Corrected the subluxation completely painlessly. Thank you also very much for the advice to go to Pilates. Indeed, you can remove the cause with the help of osteopathy sessions, if you fall into the hands not of a charlatan, but of a real professional, but to consolidate the effect, you also need special exercises. This is very important for your back, and plus the right furniture for studying will definitely help you cope with back problems. The salon is worthy of attention, wonderful desks, pillows for sleeping and many, many useful things.

I would like to share my mother’s experience of visiting an osteopath. My mother is 52 years old, and by this age she has accumulated problems with the musculoskeletal system (scoliosis - since school; gonarthrosis of the knee joint of the 2nd degree - manifested itself about two years ago; flat feet of the 5th degree; "tunnel syndrome" - works at the computer , my hand was very sore, it was cramping, I felt tension, etc., etc.), and others. I won’t list everything. At first, my mother was examined at a regular clinic, but she did not like the doctors’ attitude towards her health problems. At the district clinic, she was recommended to undergo surgery on both feet to correct the arch of the foot and remove the bunions.
She was not given any recommendations regarding the choice of location for the operation, or other issues of concern to her (related to the validity of the operation). Concern grew, and she decided to seek help from an osteopath, whom we recommended to her (my husband and daughter were also treated by Dmitry Borisovich), at first just for a consultation. As a result, my mother completed a very effective course of treatment and received comprehensive recommendations. Each appointment lasted at least two hours, the doctor worked with her very carefully, practically from head to toe. Her aching arm received special attention; the muscles relaxed. Mom couldn’t express all the manipulations in words, since she doesn’t know the special terminology, but she really felt better.
Now she uses orthopedic insoles, which were individually made for her at Dr. Simkin’s clinic, and follows all the recommendations to maintain the results achieved (her knees rarely hurt, the aching pain in the lower back has gone away, her arm doesn’t hurt at all).

My first acquaintance with Dmitry Borisovich happened in absentia in Moscow at a conference where he spoke about ergonomic furniture. For some reason I thought then that he was definitely a Muscovite and was impressed by his posture. I got an appointment only a year later, having learned by chance from friends that that same amazing Simkin lives and works with us in St. Petersburg. I didn't have any pain problems at that time. I’ve been working very successfully on my posture and distortions for a year and a half with a joint yoga trainer, and she advised me to go to an osteopath to help the body release tension and muscle spasms by working with the fascia. The result is absolutely amazing. I go once a month, and after each visit, the mobility of my muscles immediately increases dramatically, I can do stretches that I was not capable of yesterday. From my own experience, I can now say that osteopathy is needed not only when you are completely overcome by pain or cannot straighten up, but as an accompanying aid when working with the body. I also purchased and sleep on a pillow designed by Dmitry Borisovich. I had previously bought orthopedic pillows from other well-known companies, but I could not sleep on them. And now I have working furniture from Dmitry Borisovich: a yoga chair and a table with an electric drive. A different quality of life! Now I also take my 5-year-old son to Dmitry Borisovich. Since boys constantly fall and get bruised, muscle spasms occur that are not noticeable to us. Over the years, they can lead to significant distortions in the body. To avoid these consequences, I also take my son to an appointment once a month. During the procedure, he watches a cartoon about Fixies on Dmitry Borisovich’s phone and is completely happy. After decades of back pain and now completely free of it, I can say: I am for prevention. Namely: proper stretching exercise, ergonomic office furniture, a pillow and a visit to an osteopath. Which I recommend to you all!

A little over a year ago, while on vacation at a water park, I suffered a neck injury. My rides ended with displacement of the 4th and 5th cervical vertebrae. The pain was terrible, I walked like a robot, but my head didn’t move at all. At the “native and beloved” clinic I was told to drink Nice for 7 days and lie down at home. While I took painkillers, I lived. A week later, all the ailments returned. Through friends I got to a good traumatologist, did an MRI, he redirected me to an osteopath, a woman, with the words: “If she doesn’t help you in 1 session, then no one will help.” I have never encountered osteopathy; I have only seen a bunch of advertisements on this topic in the subway. I listened to all sorts of advisers and scary tales, but I still decided. At first, the osteopath helped me a lot, but after the second session I felt worse. Believing her words that at the next appointment everything would be “put in place,” I began to lose hope, and ultimately realized that they were simply pumping money out of me. In the end, I said goodbye to her. For a little less than a year I continued to suffer, only now my back was added to my neck. I didn’t sleep well, I couldn’t turn over without grabbing the headboard of the bed or the nearby nightstand with my hands. The head hardly turned or tilted. Therapeutic gymnastics according to the book gave its results, but they were so meager. And then one day, a good friend, an older school teacher, recommended Dr. Dmitry Borisovich Simkin. I made an appointment and eagerly awaited the appointed day. My faith that he could help me wavered, but hope lived in me. I can’t describe in words his operating principle, I can only say that in my eyes he is a good wizard, nothing less! He doesn't need an MRI, he identifies and finds problems with his eyes! I couldn’t believe this miracle, but after 1 session I slept for the first time in a sound, healthy sleep without waking up from turning over! My body, from the heels to the top, seemed to be freed from the shackles that once bound it. I started flying! Not literally, of course, but I believe the feelings are similar. After the appointment, they also gave advice on how to sit, walk and sleep correctly. Yes, yes, just sleep! They showed me and let me try out the “Night Symphony” orthopedic pillow on the spot. This pillow is not like any of those sold in orthopedic stores. I laid my head on it and almost fell asleep right away, honestly. ? My head, neck, shoulders and back haven’t known such comfort and coziness for a long time, and maybe they haven’t known at all. I bought one to test at home. I only managed to sleep on it for 1 day, because my mother confiscated it and won’t give it back to this day, but how I slept! The next morning there was no tension or fatigue in the neck and spine! I felt rested and full of strength and energy! Today I bought another one, my favorite one, but we won’t stop there, because we have a big family, and everyone should sleep properly. Thanks to Dmitry Borisovich for his many years of work and kindness to his patients! It really helps people become healthy and happy!

About 10 years ago I started having severe headaches and, on the recommendation of a therapist I knew, I turned to Dmitry Borisovich Simkin. At that time, he did not yet have his own practice and he worked in the 21st century clinic. Since then, I not only sometimes visit Dmitry Borisovich myself, but at different times I also sent all my relatives and most of my friends to him. I especially persuaded those who did not believe in his abilities to go for the first time on special conditions; if it does not help, I will pay for this visit myself. By the way, such a case has never happened before). Dmitry Borisovich has a wonderful theory, which says that if you just go to sessions, the effect will be short-lived, and he himself offers ergonomic accessories in the form of pillows under the back and head, which help to keep your back straight and relaxed almost at any time, which means and blood circulation is not impaired. I believed in this system and, in addition to one-time costs for pillows that are sold in specialized stores, I spend money only on 2-3 trips to Dmitry Borisovich per year. Although, of course, I do not have complex problems with the spine, and I will not say that this will be the case for everyone). And yet - we sleep in the wrong position, sit crooked at the computer, etc., is it any wonder that then lower back pain or headaches begin, or dizziness and fatigue due to impaired blood circulation. And this is not a customized review, it’s just that for many years I have been treated only by an osteopath for spinal problems and due to the fact that I have converted many of those around me to my faith, therefore my argumentation system is in order. Now Dmitry Borisovich is successful and even famous people come to see him, and Dmitry Borisovich has his own clinic with the same great doctors with sparkling eyes and smart thoughts, which in my opinion is a powerful argument that Dmitry Borisovich has succeeded as a highly qualified specialist. And by the way, he developed some pillows himself and they have long been sold under the Seventh Heaven brand and he also conducts trainings for employees of sedentary professions and his portfolio among already established clients includes large transnational companies (which I don’t remember verbatim, but who want all the information found on his website). In a word, I highly recommend solving your problems with a real pro.

Question and answer

What is osteopathy and what does the doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO) do?

Osteopathy is a method of treatment based on the mechanical impact of hands on the structure and organs of the human body. An osteopath is a licensed doctor who performs hands-on treatment to eliminate not only the diseases, but also the etiological causes of them. Osteopathic treatment results general body improvement, recovery from injuries and health issues especially in the spine, joints, muscles, nerves and internal organs. Additionally, osteopathic treatment significantly increases strength and flexibility by improving muscle tone, bone density, joint mobility and overall balance and homeostasis.

What diagnostic methods are used by an osteopath?

DOs hands are an universal diagnostic tool allowing us to determine even minor deviations in the tissues of the body. Such details may not bother the patient at all and are not normally detected during routine examinations. However, for an accurate diagnosis, modern medical imaging techniques are used e.g. X-ray, ultrasound, MRI, CT in addition to clinical laboratory diagnostics.

What happens to the body after taking an osteopathic treatment session?

During the osteopathic treatment session, the DO switches on natural body mechanisms to restore damage by improving organs mobility and tissue blood flow at varying levels. This process initiates slowly, gradually or rapidly, depending on each patient. Sometimes, the patient may experience tingling, throbbing, bruising sensation or even acute pain. In general, these side effects may develop a few hours after the treatment session and can last from one to three days. In case of acute pain, over-the-counter or prescription pain management medications can be used to relieve the pain.
On the other hand, some patients may experience pain or discomfort due to other reasons. Despite the fact that DOs use gentle hand touches, significant biological and physiological changes happen to the patient’s body e.g. spine curvature, muscle distribution, and joint trajectories. As a result, some tissues and organs that have been adapted to unhealthy conditions for many years cannot immediately reverse to their natural structure and function. In this case, and if the pain or discomfort persists for more than three days, the patient needs to inform and than visit his DO without delay to help relieve the pain and speed up recovery.
In fact, both outcomes should be expected as a result of osteopathic therapy, which requires the patient’s understanding and preparedness.

What can and cannot be done after an osteopathic treatment session?

DOs do not replace damaged tissues and organs with new ones, but only activate the tremendous self-healing capacity of your body.

Based on this, after the session it is recommended to do the following:

  • Drink more water, especially on an empty stomach.
  • Limit the consumption of high-protein foods, especially if you have a flu-like symptoms caused by the cellular and humoral inflammatory response due to the interaction between damaged tissues and the immune system.
  • Get enough sleep. This is very important, because mainly during sleep the body restores the tissues and organs. After the session, your body will have a lot of work to do, because now it will have access to "clamped" tissues with poor circulation. These tissues have not been receiving sufficient amounts of nutrients and oxygen, and have been accumulating toxic by-products for a long time.
  • Avoid physical and emotional overload, because the body has already got a new "job" to do for self-healing. Within three days after the session, it is recommended to minimize cardio and resistance training and avoid full body deep stretches. Mild and low-impact stretches under the guidance of an instructor or just walking are preferred.
  • Avoid alcohol in the first three days after the treatment session. After that only moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages is recommended.
Why do we need ergonomics for the workplace and the recreational area?

Proper organization of the workplace and recreation areas contribute to deeper relaxation of muscles, improvement of body balance and effective recovery of the body while doing what you love to do. Ergonomics helps to consolidate and to prolong the effect of osteopathic treatment.

How many osteopathic sessions do I need?

The main course takes from 1-2 treatment sessions (for mild cases in children) to 6-10 sessions for children or adults with complex and serious medical conditions.

How often do we need a session?

In acute cases every 3-7 days, in sub-acute cases every 2 weeks, and about once a month for planned treatment.

Do I need to wait for severe pain or other acute symptoms to visit a DO?

It is recommended to consult with your DO on a scheduled basis without waiting for acute symptoms. This allows you to reduce the number of procedures, maintain/improve quality of life and achieve a more complete recovery.
