Osteopathic Services

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) are trained to look beyond your symptoms, considering how lifestyle and environmental factors impact your well-being. They practice medicine based on the latest science and technology while also exploring options like Osteopathic Manipulation (OMT) to complement pharmaceuticals and surgery. 

As part of their education, DOs receive specialized training in the musculoskeletal system, which encompasses your body’s interconnected nerves, muscles, and bones. By integrating this knowledge with the latest advances in Osteopathic Medicine, they provide patients with the most comprehensive care available in healthcare today.

Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), also known as osteopathic manipulation or osteopathic manipulative therapy, is a hands-on approach used by doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs). This treatment method is effective for addressing mechanical pain, such as muscle, tendon, or bone pain caused by structural imbalances, as well as a broad spectrum of health conditions. DOs utilize OMT not only to treat issues but also to diagnose and prevent disease, enhancing the body's overall functionality.

Through various OMT techniques, DOs apply gentle pressure to manipulate muscles, soft tissues, and joints. This osteopathic manipulation promotes the body’s natural healing processes by ensuring that bones and muscles are properly aligned and balanced.

Osteopathic manipulative therapy is beneficial for conditions impacting every bodily system, including the musculoskeletal, digestive, nervous, and immune systems. By realigning the body and restoring equilibrium to bones and muscles, OMT facilitates improved overall function, allowing the body to operate as a cohesive unit.

With OMT, your DO can:

- Address structural problems in joints, muscles, and tissues.

- Improve circulation and enhance the flow of blood and other fluids throughout the body.

- Prevent health issues and aid in self-healing by optimizing how the body works collectively.

- Soothe tight muscles, alleviate joint stiffness, and enhance your range of motion.
