Many patients are searching for non-invasive, holistic approaches that not only treat symptoms but also address the root causes of their health concerns. Osteopathic Manipulation Medicine (OMM) is one such approach that focuses on enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself. At Premier Orthopaedic Associates, we embrace the principles of OMM as one facet of our patient-centered approach to healthcare.
OMM, often referred to as osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT), is a unique branch of healthcare that emphasizes the relationship between the body's structure and function. Osteopathic physicians, or DOs, are trained to use their hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury by gently manipulating the musculoskeletal system.
OMM recognizes that the body functions as an integrated whole. Dysfunction in one part can affect other areas, and vice versa.
OMM believes that the body's structure (bones, muscles, and tissues) influences its function (how it moves and operates). Maintaining balance in this relationship is vital for overall health.
OMM focuses on enhancing the body's natural ability to heal itself. By removing obstacles to healing, OMM encourages the body to function optimally.
At Premier Orthopaedic Associates of Southern New Jersey, we are committed to providing our patients with comprehensive healthcare options, and OMM is an integral part of our approach. Our team of highly skilled osteopathic physicians is dedicated to using their expertise to enhance your well-being.
