Osteopathic Medicine, or Osteopathy, is a holistic method of health care that addresses the person as an interconnected unit of body, mind and spirit, and if given the proper tools, has the inherent wisdom to heal itself. One of the Osteopathic principles is to focus on and find the health that is present in the body instead of focusing on the disease present. Then, we synchronize with that health, which awakens the self healing forces in the body.

Osteopathic Medicine is a gentle but specific hands-on method of healing that is used to correct structural and functional imbalances in the body. These imbalances can occur for a variety of reasons beginning with birth trauma and include physical injury and emotional trauma. These strains can occur in the musculoskeletal system as well as the organs and nervous system. Osteopathic Medicine is used to correct these imbalances through manipulation of the entire body in an effort to restore vitality, balance and wellness.
