Osteopathy is a drug-free manual medicine that focuses on total body health. Through treatment and mobilization of the musculoskeletal framework, it positively affects the body's function including the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.

We utilize palpation and provide a gentle “manual” approach to identify the causative factors and restore function to the musculoskeletal, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, genitourinary and nervous systems.
Soft tissue manipulation is used to evaluate the condition of tissues and to help the body’s blood and lymph fluid circulate and assist the body’s immune system to be more effective.
The osteoarticular technique is used to gently mobilize two joint surfaces, reduce muscle spasms and ease neurological irritations around a joint, make joints more mobile and reduce pain and discomfort.
This gentle technique is used to assess and treat the mobility of the cranial bones, fluid motility, the spine and the sacrum. It adjusts the body’s physiology by restoring balance to the circulation of the cerebrospinal spinal fluids.
Osteopathic Manual Practitioners use visceral manipulation to treat the organs and viscera of the body, including: lungs, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, stomach, pancreas, intestines, uterus, and bladder. We specialize in the manipulation of soft tissues in the body – including muscles, connective tissues, tendons, ligaments and joints – that helps alleviate the discomfort associated with everyday and occupational stresses, muscular over-use and many chronic pain conditions. We use a variety of massage techniques to encourage relaxation, recover function and assist in healing.
We offer a variety of therapeutic techniques including:
