Osteopathic Manipulative
Treatment
What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment?
Osteopathic Medicine is a branch of modern medicine that emphasizes the interrelationship between the body’s structure and function.
It is based on the philosophy that all body systems are interrelated and dependent upon one another for good health.
Osteopathic physicians use their hands to diagnose injury and illness and encourage your body’s natural tendency toward self-healing.
What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)?
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a set of hands-on techniques used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose, treat, and prevent conditions. Using OMT, a DO moves a patient’s muscles and joints using techniques that include stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance. OMT can help people of all ages and backgrounds and is often used to treat muscle pain, but it can also help patients with other health problems such as asthma, sinus disorders, carpal tunnel syndrome, migraines, and menstrual pain.
