Physicians who are trained in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) can apply a variety of hands-on methods for diagnosing and treating certain musculoskeletal conditions as well as some other common conditions ranging from asthma and migraines to sinus problems, carpal tunnel syndrome and more. This form of therapy can help increase a patient’s flexibility, mobility and energy while temporarily reducing pain in the joints, muscles and elsewhere in the body. Here, the physician applies gentle pressure, stretching and resistance to problematic areas using his or her own hands. The methods applied in OMT are often used in combination with – or as alternatives to – other forms of treatment such as medication and surgery.
