Procedure for an osteopathic consultation
On average, an osteopathic consultation lasts 45 minutes, but this can vary from 30 minutes to 1 hour. This will depend mainly on the reason(s) for your consultation, but also on how your file is compiled, which is very complete in osteopathy.
It is often accepted that a consultation for acute pain (which has been present for a short time) will normally require between 1 and 2 sessions. On the other hand, a chronic reason for consultation (one that has been present for a long time or is recurrent) is likely to require a slightly higher number of sessions. In all cases, sessions should generally be spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart, to give your body time to adapt to the treatment and “rebalance” itself.

Fees
Refund
As osteopathic procedures are not covered by the Caisse Nationale de Santé (CNS), and in response to growing patient demand, many complementary health insurance companies reimburse all or part of the osteopathic consultation fee. As the amount of this reimbursement varies greatly from one mutual insurance company to another, and also from one contract to another, we advise you to contact your complementary health insurance company directly for more information.
