What is Osteopathic Manipulation?
Osteopathic Manipulation also called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) or Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is a non surgical and non invasive hands on approach to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness and/or injury. OMT involves using the physician’s hands to move a patient’s muscles, joints, bones, and connective tissue through precise and gentle stretching, pressure, and other techniques.
OMT has been shown to improve the overall health and well-being of a patient by treating a wide variety of conditions, particularly those related to the musculoskeletal system, but it can also address other aspects of health. The techniques used address structural imbalances or dysfunctions in the body and focuses on promoting natural healing, relieving pain, improving mobility, and supporting the body’s ability to function at it’s best.
OMT has been studied by Osteopathic Physicians and medical researchers since the late 1800s. Andrew Taylor Still founded Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine in 1892, which was the first Osteopathic school. OMT has been studied by several leading medical organizations, including the National Institutes of Heath (NIH), American Osteopathic Association (AOA), and several Osteopathic Medical Schools including University of North Texas Health Science Center- Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine. Research continues to show evidence supporting OMT.
