Services & Benefits

At Osteopathic Healing Hands, we take the time to get to know you. In our supportive environment, we perform a comprehensive history and physical exam that helps us understand the physical, medical and emotional trauma in your body. We believe understanding what creates the cause of your illness or pain will help us create an individualized treatment plan. This allows us to teach you how you can help yourself in the healing process.

The status of a one’s overall health and well being contributes greatly to an individual’s quality of life. It comprises of:

• A healthy body that is equipped with a sound immune system, which forms the first-line of protection from infections and diseases, and enables properly functioning organs.
• A healthy mind that is relaxed and clear of emotional and physiological stress. 

When the body is injured or attacked by a foreign body, it responds in the form of pain, which is a signal sent out to your brain to indicate a problem in the body. It tells us that something is not right and we may need some form of medical treatment. Despite it being a natural response, extreme pain can have a negative impact on your overall quality of life and emotional wellbeing.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) may be the answer for you.

Studies have shown:

• Osteopathic techniques increase lymph flow, to prevent fluid accumulation (edema) and enhance the immune system to treat infections.
• OMT reduces pain, stress and muscle tension, and promotes relaxation.
• Various osteopathic treatments can help women suffering from primary dysmenorrheal (painful periods).
• OMT can be used as an adjunct with opioids to treat pain following surgery.
• Osteopathic manipulation can prevent the complication atelectasis and provide faster recovery after surgery.
• OMT decreases sympathetic nervous system activity.
• OMT positively affects human secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) levels, thereby providing a preventive, protective and therapeutic effect in healthy people, those at a higher risk of upper respiratory tract infections, and.hospitalized patients experiencing high emotional or physiological stress.
