How Does OMT Help?

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, is a hands-on form of medical care used to diagnose and treat problems involving bones, joints, muscles, nerves, and connective tissue.

Treatment is individualized and guided by a detailed physical examination. Techniques may include gentle stretching, joint mobilization, soft tissue work, and other precise manual treatments designed to improve how the body moves and functions.
