Osteopathic Doctors
  • If you think medicine is only about prescription
    drugs, osteopathic well care can improve your
    life. By preventing disease, osteopaths keep you
    healthy and don't just treat individual parts.
  • The type of treatment that an osteopath
    prescribes will depend on the patient and the
    diagnosis. It could be prescription pills,
    manipulation, injections, even surgery. You don't
    always need spinal surgery for back or neck pain.
    You can try nonsurgical treatments first.

Here's why you should try osteopathic medicine
  • Osteopathy uses the same diagnostic tools and
    techniques as conventional medicine, X-rays and
    lab tests included, but it's not like
    conventional medicine. In order to promote
    optimal health and wellbeing, osteopathy
    recognizes the body as an interconnected
    organism, with all its parts interdependent on
    one another.

Osteopathic Medicine
  • Preventing illness and disease is the whole point
    of osteopathic wellness. Osteopathy isn't about
    healing existing disease, but preventing it from
    happening. Osteopathic medicine uses techniques
    and knowledge from both the East and the West to
    provide comprehensive care.
  • Osteopaths keep you healthy with regular exams.
    Exams include taking your blood pressure,
    checking your vital stats, checking your diet,
    checking your medication regimen, lifestyle
    factors, how much exercise you get, and how
    stressed out you are.

Osteopathic Care
  • The goal is to figure out the patient's habits,
    stress levels, nutrition and fitness levels. As
    these areas are essential to preventing disease,
    they improve a patient's overall health.
  • In osteopathy, the goal is to reduce pain,
    improve range of motion, and restore function.
    Some of the methods used are as follows
  • Articulation increases range of motion by moving
    joints.
  • When thrusting, the joint is moved against its
    resistance in order to restore motion

Osteopathic Care
  • An effective counterstain can help alleviate
    tender or trigger points.
  • Myofascial release involves stretching muscle
    tissue in order to reduce muscle tension and
    pain.
  • Strong muscles are strengthened by muscle energy
    while tight muscles are relaxed.
