Specialty Care – Neuromusculorskeletal Medicine

Neuromusculoskeletal medicine is a subspeciality of Osteopathic Medicine that focuses on the interaction of the nerves, muscles, and bones and how they can contribute to problems within the body and its’ inherent regulatory mechanisms (homeostasis).

We use Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine to assess for any asymmetry or inequalities that exist within a given individual (somatic dysfunction), and work with the patient to correct them.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can involve gentle, indirect techniques such as Myofascial Release or Counterstrain, or more aggressive, direct techniques such as Muscle Energy and High-Velocity Low Amplitude (HVLA) techniques.

At each visit, you will meet with a physician who will determine the correct treatment course and level of treatment needed. Treatment can then be performed at the same visit if indicated.

Sometimes, additional testing such as blood work or x-rays may be needed before such treatments can begin.
