Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Clinic
Overview:
History of Osteopathic Medicine
Developed 130 years ago by physician A.T. Still, osteopathic medicine is one of the fastest growing healthcare professions in the United States and brings a unique philosophy to traditional medicine. With a strong emphasis on the inter-relationships of the body’s nerves, muscles, bones, and organs, doctors of osteopathic medicine, or D.O.’s, apply the philosophy of treating the whole person. D.O.’s place particular emphasis on the musculoskeletal system. D.O.’s believe that all of the body’s systems, including the nervous and musculoskeletal system, work together and that disturbances in one system may impact function elsewhere in the body.
OMT: Hands on Care
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is hands on care. It involves using the hands to diagnosis, treat, and prevent illness or injury. Using OMT, an osteopathic physician will treat your musculoskeletal system using techniques including stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance.
Who Can Benefit from OMT?
OMT can help people of all ages and backgrounds, from infants to geriatrics. It can ease pain, promote healing, and increase mobility.
How Do You Become a Patient?
All patients must obtain a referral from their primary care physician prior to scheduling an appointment in our office.
