(OMT) Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment

Alleviate Symptoms and Achieve Better Health

Sometimes the best treatment a physician can recommend or provide is 100% natural and non-invasive. Osteopathic medicine is a patient-focused approach to health care based on the idea that our body’s systems are interrelated.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) does not just refer to one treatment or therapy. It is an entire system designed to restore a body’s normal function, where muscles, bones, and nerves work together harmoniously.

OMT can be used to ease pain, promote healing, and increase overall mobility. Treatment can be used alongside or instead of medications or surgery. For some people, it relieves symptoms even after medication or surgery hasn’t worked.

Osteopathic manipulative treatment involves moving patients’ muscles and joints using techniques. These include stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance. The targeted movements and pressure work in conjunction to release the restriction and tightness in nerves and muscles.

If you’re experiencing back pain, you may be concerned that invasive procedures or surgery will be necessary for relief. Fortunately, osteopathic manipulative treatment is a noninvasive option that can enhance your quality of life.

In addition to alleviating back pain, osteopathic manipulative treatment offers other advantages. It can be beneficial for individuals suffering from chronic pain, breathing difficulties, sports injuries, and arthritis. As you receive treatment for your back pain, you may also observe improvements in other areas of your body.

If you’re struggling with tight muscles and joint pain, osteopathic manipulative treatment can help improve your circulation and promote natural healing. Not only will you experience less aches and an increased range of motion, but you’ll also notice an overall improvement in your health. By encouraging your body’s natural healing methods, this treatment can improve how your body functions on a regular basis.
