What is OMT?
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on technique used by doctors of osteopathic medicine (DOs) to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. We use a variety of gentle techniques to manipulate the musculoskeletal system, including muscles, bones, and connective tissues, to improve the body's natural ability to heal itself.
Benefits of OMT
Can be used to treat a wide variety of common ailments, including headaches, arthritis, stress injuries, sports injuries and pain in areas such as the lower back, neck, shoulders and knees
Improves mobility
Reduces stress
Provides a non-invasive and medication-free treatment option for patients
Can be administered safely in combination with other medical treatments to improve outcomes
How is this different from a Chiropractor?
There are some similarities between Osteopathic manipulation and Chiropractic manipulation however, chiropractors focus primarily on spinal alignment and thrust type treatment techniques. A DO practicing OMT has access to a broader spectrum of therapeutic options in addition to the thrust techniques, among which are myofascial release, muscle energy, counterstrain, visceral manipulation, and many more.
