The Osteopathic Way

A lot of what our physicians do is provide reassurance. An injury that other providers have not been able to figure out is kind of our specialty, and it is a relief for anyone who has an injury that is seriously affecting their life. The mental aspect is important in healing. Don’t worry, your body has an innate capacity to heal almost anything. #osteopathicmedicine #injury #painrelief #

Our physicians love to treat babies! Did you know babies eat with basically their entire bodies? OMT can help with latch and digestive issues and any of our physicians are qualified to treat babies. #breatfeeding #latch #osteopathicmanipulation

Often as Osteopathic Physicians we find dysfunctions in the body that are not necessarily in the same place as the pain. Neck pain can frequently be caused by thoracic spine dysfunctions, shoulder pain often comes from the neck. This is why we always treat the entire body, from head to toe. If we didn’t, it would be easy to overlook areas that are key to getting our patients out of pain. #backpain #neckpain #osteopathy #monterey #pasadena

It may seem obvious that Osteopathic Physicians would treat joints and the alignment of the bones, but did you know our physicians also use their skilled hands to diagnose and treat other conditions? Osteopathy is based in the idea that the function of the body (on basically every level), is intimately tied to the structure of that aspect of the body. Digestive issues such as constipation and GERD are more frequently treated, but other conditions such as afib, migraine headache, ear infections, pneumonia, Parkinson’s disease and vertigo are all potential reasons to see an osteopathic physician for Osteopathic manipulation. #parkinsonsdisease #osteopathy #osteopathicmedicine

Our doctors are trained to use their hands to feel any abnormalities in the tissues. So if you can’t exactly explain what it is you feel but you know something is off, don’t worry, we have a good chance of finding it on our own. #osteopathicmedicine #osteopathy #pacificgrove #pasadena
