Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment or OMT?
Osteopathic manipulative treatment, or OMT, is a form of treatment that is hands-on and the osteopathic physicians, or D.O.s, performing this treatment will examine your muscles, ligaments, tendons, joints and other parts of your body for pain during motion that could mean an injury or impaired function.
D.O.s are licensed, fully trained physicians that use osteopathic manipulative treatment to treat, prevent and even diagnose illness or injury. This type of treatment can be used to treat lower back pain and can relieve discomfort associated with:
- Migraines
- Menstrual pain
- Sinus disorders
- Asthma
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Even drug and alcohol addiction
Osteopathic manipulative treatment has helped many people from all ages to find relief from pain and dysfunction. It is used to treat and diagnose injuries and illnesses and also improves blood circulation to help restore and maintain health. The D.O. performing your osteopathic manipulative treatment will check your posture, spine and balance, while also checking your joints for restriction and your muscles, tendons and ligaments for tenderness abnormalities. Different techniques will be administered over the body. Manual forces will be used to treat structural abnormalities and specific corrective forces will be used to relieve joint misalignment or restriction.
