OSTEOPATHIC MANIPULATION

Osteopathy is a form of alternative medicine that focuses on the manipulation of muscle tissue and bones. Often called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment, or OMT, physicians use a hands-on technique to treat, diagnose and prevent injury. These techniques can range anywhere from applying gentle pressure and resistance to stretching. OMT can complement or sometimes replace surgery or prescription drugs. This process should not hurt as the key in the process is light pressure.
