Osteopathic Manual Practice involve the assessment and treatment of the musculoskeletal, visceral, circulatory, neurological, and cranial systems. Osteopathic practitioners use their knowledge of anatomy and physiology to evaluate and treat the primary causes of dysfunction holistically.

Patients have varying factors contributing to their complaint of chronic pain and dysfunction including past injuries, illnesses, stress, and activities of daily living.
The resultant effect of these factors may not only manifest locally, but more frequently experienced far from the site of complaint.

The Osteopathic Practitioner will assess the whole body specific to your concerns and body history. Treatments are focused toward several specific areas to assist in bringing the body back to its normality. Osteopathic manual practice brings balance and support to the person and their systems.
