Osteopathic manipulation treatment (OMT) is a hands-on approach by Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine. It includes a variety of techniques which move a patient’s muscles, soft tissue, and joints in order to improve structural imbalances in the body, improve circulation, relieve pain, and support healing.
OMT can help patients of all ages and backgrounds. Some common conditions it may be used for include back and neck pain, constipation, asthma, sinusitis, migraines and carpal tunnel syndrome.
This approach can complement other forms of medical treatment.
