Osteopathic Medicine
Osteopathy. What is that? It distinguishes us from our distinguished MD counterparts. The original thought was that human life is greater than the sum of its parts. Our training included looking at the whole person, and everything their life encompasses. And that's pretty darn cool.
​
What's even more rad is that we get an extra year of training in musculoskeletal medicine. We like to think of it as a combination of physical therapy, massage therapy, occupational therapy, and hands-on neuro-musculo-skeletal manipulation. Because it's hands on, it's something that words can't fully describe - you have to come try it for yourself!
OMT is the Swiss Army Knife of osteopathic medicine: useful in just about any situation.
Here's what we do:
Do you have a joint that just won't behave? ​Tweak your back last weekend summiting Mount Rainier? Have chronic migraines from working on the computer all day? Grinding your teeth so much your TMJ just won't quit? OMT might be able to help you get some relief.​ Let's leverage some of your body's own innate ability to find homeostasis.
