What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment?
“Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is a set of techniques used by DO’s to diagnose, treat and prevent illness and injury. Using OMT, a DO moves a patient’s muscles and joints using techniques including stretching, gentle pressure and resistance. In many cases, the treatment can be used to complement, or even replace, drugs or surgery.” – findado.osteopathic.org
Common issues improved with OMT:
- Pain related to improper alignment of back, hips, shoulders, and neck
- Acute muscle strains
- Headaches (tension, migraine, and sinus)
- Sinus congestion from colds
- Asthma and COPD exacerbations
- Constipation
If you are dealing with some of the issues above, you may be a good candidate for OMT as a safe and effective form of therapy.
