Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment
What is OMT?
OMT is short for Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment. It is a technique which involves using hands to help the body heal itself naturally. Through use of hands-on care, your osteopathic physician may be able to diagnose, treat and prevent any physical restrictions due to illness or injury.
How does OMT work?
Pain and illness form through physical blockages within your body’s organs, tissues or bones. OMT removes these pain-causing blockages and promotes natural healing through use of manual techniques such as stretching, pressure and resistance.
What are the main goals of OMT?
The main goals of OMT are to ease pain, increase mobility and promote natural healing.
Who can benefit from OMT?
OMT can be beneficial to people of all ages and backgrounds.
Does OMT have any side effects?
The majority of patients will feel more relaxed and will see an improvement in their symptoms as the body begins to naturally heal itself. Additional side effects may include sore muscles and minor aches and pains, which usually dissipate within 1-2 days.
When will I begin to see results?
The healing time varies depending on the condition. Some patients with minor conditions may see improvement within a few treatments. Patients with more chronic problems may require a more extended period of treatment.
