Osteopathic medicine focuses on healing through health rather than disease, taking advantage of the body's own healing mechanisms.  It can be used to help with chronic conditions such as headaches, sinus issues, ear infections, digestion issues, and more acute issues like neck pain and athletic injuries.

In addition, osteopathic manual medicine uses subtle body manipulations to address structural issues that could be causing you pain, weakness or impacting your body's functioning.
