What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment?
Osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) are trained to view the body as an integrated system, with an emphasis on prevention, structural balance, and the body’s ability to heal itself. Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment uses precise manual techniques to find and treat areas of restriction in muscles, joints, and connective tissue. Treatment is gentle and patient-centered, and approaches such as cranial osteopathy make Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment suitable for infants, children, and adults.
