Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on body treatment designed to relieve pain and improve function of the body. With the accumulation of injuries (both major or minor) as well as stress (physical, emotional or mental), dysfunction may develop and result in pain, sensitivity, decreased mobility, and other symptoms. The goal of OMT is to resolve such dysfunction through gently returning the body to its correct position. Patients who undergo treatment experience less pain, better range of motion and improved relaxation.

Conditions that would benefit from treatment include:

• Pregnancy related aches and discomfort
• Musculoskeletal pain: neck, back, shoulders, hips
• Injuries: whiplash
• Other pain syndromes: migraines, tension headaches, fibromyalgia, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome
