Osteopathic manipulative medicine is performed by physicians (DO’s) trained in a philosophy of care which emphasizes treating the whole patient. Structural abnormalities in anatomy lead to diseases causing “somatic dysfunctions” in the body and a person’s mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health if affected. OMT offers a vast array of treatment options for patients with neuromusculoskeletal diseases affecting the nervous system, brain, spinal cord, nerves, as well as muscles and bones, cartilage. Some techniques are muscle energy, counter strain and high velocity low amplitude.
