Constant sinus congestion? Upper back and neck pain? Dr. Mainier is a board-certified osteopathic physician who is well-versed at alleviating many musculoskeletal and systemic conditions using a professional hands-on manipulative approach.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is helping a lot of people. It is a hands-on approach, used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose, treat and prevent illness or injury. Osteopathic medicine relies on an understanding of how the body’s system of muscles, nerves and bones work together and how they are related to organ systems. Since there are a variety of techniques, manipulation is generally beneficial on some level for every patient.
Osteopathic Manipulation can be used to treat conditions such as:
- Chronic back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Neuromuscular pain syndromes (syndromes that affect your muscles or nerves, such as neuropathy or myopathy)
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Migraines and tension headaches
- Asthma
- Sinus disorders
- Middle ear infections
Benefits to osteopathic manipulative treatments include:
- Treatment of structural and soft tissue abnormalities
- Relieving joint restriction and misalignment
- Restoring muscle and connective-tissue balance
- Promoting the overall movement of blood flow throughout the body
One of the biggest benefits you’ll experience from a manipulation is reduced pain, along with better joint and muscle movement. By realigning your musculoskeletal system, you will become more balanced. This will not only promote healing, but it will also help you prevent injury to your musculoskeletal system.
