Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) combines the in-depth study and understanding of anatomy with extensive training in palpation, which is a fine-tuned method of feeling with the hands and fingers.
This specific treatment style and approach can help normalize disrupted body function, decrease pain after injuries or surgeries and enhance existing body function. The treatment is applicable to patients of any age—even newborns and pregnant or postpartum women.
In the simplest language, OMT is the often overlooked option for aches and pains where medications and surgery dominate modern medicine.
Common condition examples for which OMT may be applied include the following. Please call the clinic with questions about other conditions that may not be listed.
- Musculoskeletal Injuries and Pain (headaches, neck, back or joint pain, TMJ, shin splints, frozen shoulder)
- Neurologic Conditions (carpal tunnel)
- General Medical Conditions (asthma, pneumonia, COPD, constipation)
- Problems in Newborns (colic, fussiness, poor latch)
- Pregnancy- and Postpartum-Related Pain and Dysfunction (urinary retention or incontinence)
- Traumatic Injuries (accidents, slips, falls)
- Sports Injuries (concussion, sprains, strains)
- Post-Surgical Symptoms (joint replacement pain, dental braces or procedures pain)
- Psychiatry-Related Symptoms (anxiety, PTSD)
- Performing Artists Issues (breathing optimization, support for dancers)
