Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathic Manipulation Therapy:
D.O.s are trained in Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM), which involves hands-on techniques to alleviate pain and improve health. By applying OMM, a D.O. can help relieve bodily restrictions, restore proper blood flow, and support nerve function, all of which promote overall health.
Cranial Osteopathy:
Many people are familiar with Craniosacral Therapy, often provided by massage therapists or alternative-minded physical therapists. This approach is rooted in the rich tradition of Osteopathy in the Cranial Field, also known as Cranial Osteopathy. It was pioneered by Dr. William Garner Sutherland, D.O., in the early 1900s. His work expanded practitioners’ ability to address a wide range of conditions that were previously challenging to treat—and continue to be for those unfamiliar with this approach.
Cranial Osteopathy has been applied successfully to support issues such as ear infections, acne, vertigo, sinus infections, snoring, sleep apnea, headaches, developmental delays in newborns and children, and even depression.
