Our Approach: The Osteopathic Difference
At the heart of this practice is a commitment to the four tenets of Osteopathic Medicine. These principles guide every session and ensure that your care is rooted in a deep understanding of human physiology and structural integrity.
The Four Tenets
The Body is a Unit: You are more than a collection of symptoms; you are a dynamic unit of body, mind, and spirit.
Self-Healing & Regulation: Your body is naturally capable of maintaining health and healing itself. Our goal is to remove the structural obstacles in the way of that process.
Structure & Function: The way your body is built (structure) directly affects how it works (function). They are reciprocally interrelated.
Rational Treatment: Effective care is built upon these principles, ensuring we address the root cause of dysfunction rather than just masking the pain.
What is OMT?
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a specialized, hands-on clinical technique used by osteopathic physicians (DOs). It involves using the hands to apply precise pressure, stretching, and specific movements to the muscles, joints, and soft tissues.
By utilizing OMT, we work to:
• Restore range of motion and joint mobility.
• Alleviate chronic and acute pain.
• Reduce inflammation and improve circulation.
• Enhance your body’s overall health and ability to function.
