Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
Osteopathy is a hands-on approach to health maintenance.
We treat with osteopathic manipulation to assist the inherent forces of the body, allowing normal structure and function to be maintained.
Treatment is aimed at the structural problems present, not the disease entity.
By removing the obstructions to health, Osteopathic physicians are able to treat virtually any illness or trauma.
Their philosophy is the body is a unit whose parts integrally affect each other. Therefore, dysfunction in one area affects other areas as well.
DOs tend to think more holistically, looking for the relationships between medical problems and the many factors that influence a person’s health.
