Natural Holistic Medicine - Osteopathic Manipulation

Osteopathic manipulation is a huge modality that adds to the care of your health.  Osteopathic manipulation is done by osteopathic physicians that are trained in the art of normalizing the structure of the body to allow the body to heal itself. 

Osteopathy was started by an M.D. named Andrew Taylor Still in 1896.  He was realizing with the three medicines in that era were killing more people than they were helping.   He developed the extensive study of anatomy knowing surface anatomy, muscles, lymphatic's, and nerves and how they interconnect as structure to create a function.  

Osteopathy affects organs, skeletal system both muscles and bones, and connective tissue.  OMT (osteopathic manipulation) can decrease an angina attack, stop a headache, improve urinary stress incontinence, break an asthma attack, decrease menstrual cramping, besides relieve a backache.

OMT  treats the extremities, neck, spine, pelvis, and head depending on the result needed.  You need to go to an osteopathic physician that has experience.   There are some people and medical personnel that go for  a week or month’s training and claim they are “trained”.   Nothing substitutes for a medical degree that knows disease that may mimic a structural symptom. 

Every disease process can be helped with manipulation that allows the body to heal itself.   We are mistaken there is a pill like a magic wand to fix our problem.   Prevention is the key.   Normal structure to allow normal function is literally at the heart of our health.
