What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment?
Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a hands-on, manual treatment method that treats mechanical pain (muscle, tendon, or bone pain due to structural imbalance) in addition to a wide range of health conditions. OMT can prevent disease and help the human body function better.
OMT employs several techniques that involve the manipulation of the muscles, soft tissues and joints. This treatment promotes inner healing through proper muscle and bone alignment.
Wondering if OMT is right for you? The best way to find out is by visiting Elite Health Services for a comprehensive assessment. During this appointment, we will take a look at your current condition, symptoms, emotional health, and lifestyle factors to design a treatment plan that’s right for you.
Who Benefits From OMT?
OMT is commonly used to treat lower back pain, however it can be beneficial for a wide range of conditions. For example, OMT can address colic in infants as well as pelvic pain in pregnant women. OMT is not suitable for patients with osteoporosis, bone cancer, and certain joint disorders. It’s important to share your full medical history and general health concerns with your doctor of osteopathy (DO).
Advantages of OMT
OMT treats conditions that affect different areas of the body such as musculoskeletal system, digestive system, immune system, and nervous system. With proper alignment of the bones and muscles, your body can function better as a whole.
Osteopathic manipulation treatment also focuses on:
- Addressing structural problems in the tissues, muscles, and joints.
- Improving blood circulation
- Preventing other disorders from occurring.
- Easing tight muscles and joint stiffness to improve range of motion.
