Visiting this website is a major step to help you determine what action can address your condition, or what can allow you to have a more active (healthier) lifestyle with less interference from pain.  

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) involves bio-mechanical, neuro-muscular, and orthopedic evaluations to more specifically identify musculo-skeletal conditions that interfere with common activities or contribute to pain. OMM employs various manual treatments, orthotic regimens, and specific stretching postures to address that found on examination in order to reduce dysfunction and promote better / more efficient movement.  

Common conditions that can be evaluated and treated at this office include "joint pain", sports-related injuries, and degenerative disc and joint disease--particularly of weight-bearing joints, the spine, and the pelvis. Consultation usually is motivated on account of pain, though many conditions may be addressed and treated (prevented) well before pain becomes a factor.

Osteopathic Medicine (OM) is a distinct philosophy of medicine that originated in the mid-western United States in the late 1800s.  OM contends that a person's general health is promoted when joints, skeletal framework, and the neuro-muscular system function optimally.  (For more details on OM, see also "General Information: History of Osteopathic Medicine")
