OSTEOPATHIC MANIPULATIVE TREATMENT

Osteopathy is based on the fundamental principle that the entire body is interrelated and has an inherent ability to defend and heal itself. Through the understanding of anatomy, physiology, structure, function, and dynamic biomechanical inter-relations, a Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) is able to palpate, diagnose, and treat restrictions that limit the body’s full potential. Traditional Osteopathic Physicians focus on treating the whole person and their underlying cause for the condition rather than treating the symptoms alone.

Your physician will perform Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), which is a hands-on diagnosis and treatment. They will move your muscles, joints, and soft tissue using techniques including stretching, gentle pressure and resistance. OMT is used to promote healing, treat pain and a number of other health problems of all ages and duration.
