Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine
Manual medicine that engages the body’s anatomy, physiology and innate wisdom to catalyze healing and support wellness.
Osteopathic Manipulation is a gentle, hands-on healing modality used by physicians trained in osteopathic medicine. Through subtle, manual techniques, the osteopath facilitates and augments healing from injury and disease, and promotes the patient’s health and well-being. Our doctors combine postural awareness, innate body wisdom, and patient education to offer an integrative, insightful approach to osteopathic medicine and the healing arts.
