Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM)
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) involves the therapeutic application of various hands-on techniques to promote full-body healing. Our Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) manipulates soft tissue as well as the deep muscles, underlying fascia, ligaments, and bones to treat a wide range of conditions and promote optimal health.
What to Expect
At your initial appointment
During your 45-minute initial appointment, the DO will evaluate:
- Activity level and exercise habits
- Diet
- Environment
- Lifestyle
- Mental and physical health
- Sleep habits
- Stress levels
After the initial intake, the DO will perform a physical examination to assess the body’s mobility. Additional testing, including imaging studies may be requested.
During osteopathic manipulation treatment, the DO may ask you to move your body into different positions such as on your back or side. They will use a variety of gentle, hands-on techniques to stretch and move the body back into alignment.
After your appointment, remember to rest your body and drink plenty of water. You may experience some soreness, however, if you are feeling any pain, please contact your physician.
During your follow-up appointments
In general, people seeking to treat their symptoms with OMM will be seen every 4-8 weeks for a 30-minute follow up appointment. Our provider will re-evaluate your symptoms, review any testing at your next appointment and discuss your treatment plan.
