Osteopathic Medicine Treatment (OMT). OMT  is a hands-on treatment where osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) use their hands to examine your back and other parts of your body such as joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.

Osteopathic medicine is dedicated to the treatment and healing of the entire patient, rather than approaching a patient’s symptoms in a crisis-oriented, one spot only approach.

A D.O.’s decision to use OMT is made on a visit by visit basis depending on the condition of the patient at the time of each visit. This leads to significantly lower number of visits than other health care providers who use manipulation.

OMT is suitable for patients of all ages, including pregnant women.

OMT can help manage problems with a focus on addressing the root causes.

When appropriate, OMT can complement – and even replace – drugs or surgery.
