Osteopathy in the Cranial Field
The delicate bones of the cranium can be compressed from birth trauma, head injuries, or even extensive dental work, restricting normal movement and leading to a variety of symptoms. By addressing these dysfunctions, OMM can help with:
- 
Headaches, jaw pain (TMJ), and facial asymmetry
 - 
Infant sucking or latching difficulties and torticollis
 - 
Tinnitus, dry mouth, and sleep disturbances
 - 
Chronic sinus congestion, brain fog, and ear fullness due to poor lymphatic drainage
 

Chronic Musculoskeletal Pain
Much of the musculoskeletal pain we experience stems from postural strain from our daily lives. OMM addresses the underlying structural imbalances that cause this pain. We also provide guidance on lifestyle modifications and simple home exercises to help you maintain your body's structural integrity and prevent future issues.

Restoring Function by Correcting Structure
The relationship between structure and health is especially clear in the torso. For example, restricted ribs or tight intercostal muscles after a trauma can lead to difficulty breathing. Similarly, by addressing structural issues around the diaphragm and abdomen, OMM can help improve symptoms of GERD and digestive issues related to conditions like hiatal hernias.

Sports Injuries & Performance
For non-surgical sports injuries, OMM is an excellent option that complements physical therapy. By identifying and treating the root cause of an injury, we can help accelerate healing and enhance performance. Balancing your body’s musculoskeletal framework not only treats the current issue but also helps prevent further injury.

For Women
Chronic inflammation and congestion, especially around the menstrual cycle, can lead to bloating, discomfort, and a feeling of heaviness. This is often not fat but a stagnation of the lymphatic system. By improving this vital drainage, many women report feeling lighter and more energized. OMM can lead to a variety of improvements, including better body tone and clearer skin, helping you feel your best and enjoy the life you were given.
Unlocking Better Health Through Your Musculoskeletal System
OMM can address a wide range of conditions by treating the source of the problem, not just the symptoms.
Below are some examples of how structural imbalances can affect your health.
01. What is Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)?
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on, non-invasive approach to healthcare used by osteopathic physicians (DOs) to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. By using their hands, DOs apply gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance techniques to the body's muscles and joints.
02. How Does OMT Work?
OMT is based on the principle that the body has an inherent ability to heal itself. When the body’s structure is balanced and functioning properly, it can work more efficiently to heal and maintain health. By addressing structural issues, OMT helps to:
- 
Improve mobility and range of motion
 - 
Enhance circulation and lymphatic flow
 - 
Reduce pain and discomfort
 - 
Support the body’s natural healing processes
 
03. What Conditions Can OMT Help With?
OMT can be used to treat a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to:
- 
Chronic and acute pain
 - 
Headaches and migraines
 - 
Sports injuries
 - 
TMJ dysfunction
 - 
Neck and back pain
 - 
Sciatica
 - 
Respiratory and digestive issues
 - 
Pediatric conditions like latching difficulties and newborn plagiocephaly
 
04. What to Expect During an OMT Session
During an OMT session, your osteopathic physician will conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history and current symptoms. The treatment itself involves a series of manual techniques that may include stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance. These techniques are designed to improve your body’s function and alleviate discomfort.
05. Benefits of OMT
- 
Non-invasive
 - 
Promotes overall health and well-being
 - 
Utilizes the body’s natural healing abilities
 - 
Can be used in conjunction with other medical treatments
 
06. Is OMT Right for You?
If you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or mobility issues, or if you’re looking for a holistic approach to support your overall health, OMT might be an excellent option. Consult with your osteopathic physician to discuss how OMT can be integrated into your personalized healthcare plan.
