Pain Management
OSTEOPATHIC MANIPULATION
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is a modality consisting of hands-on techniques used by osteopathically trained physicians to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury. It is involved with moving muscles, joints, and soft tissue in such ways as to open and mobilize regions of prior restriction and pain. This training in musculoskeletal injury repair helps to reverse newly injured regions, as well as chronic injuries of muscles, nerves and bones. It allows for the practitioner to have a deep understanding of how the body’s systems are interconnected. It also allows the practitioner to evaluate, identify, and treat regions of the body that have been injured in the past, which, for all practical purposes have “gone away,” but still restricting full function at other regions of the body.

Osteopathic manipulative techniques can help:
- Treat structural and tissue abnormalities
- Relieve joint restriction and misalignment
- Restore muscle and tissue balance
- Promote blood and lymphatic flow through the body
Common conditions which osteopathic manipulation can address are:
- Headaches
- Neck and Shoulder Pain
- Arm, hand and wrist pain
- Upper, Mid and Low back pain
- Hip and Leg pain
- Rib and Abdominal Wall Pain
