I’m often asked, “What can you treat with Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)?” My answer is always the same: “What can’t you treat with OMT?” For over 10 years, I’ve been treating patients of all ages and life stages using OMT—a hands-on approach to healthcare that promotes healing, relieves pain, and restores balance throughout the body. Here is a closer look at how OMT can benefit a wide variety of patients and chronic conditions.
OMT for Babies: Gentle Support for Growing Bodies

Babies’ bodies are delicate and developing, which makes OMT an excellent tool for addressing common infant concerns in a safe and gentle way. A few specific examples of conditions that OMT can help treat in babies include:
Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome): OMT can gently release tight muscles and improve skull symmetry.
Torticollis: By addressing muscle tension in the neck, OMT can help babies achieve better head movement and positioning.
Feeding and Latching Difficulties: OMT can alleviate tension in the jaw, mouth, and neck, making it easier for babies to feed effectively.
Constipation: Gentle manipulation of the abdomen can improve digestive function and relieve constipation.
Babies often respond very well to OMT, and early treatment can help prevent future issues as they grow.
OMT for Children: Supporting Healthy Development

Children are active, curious, and constantly growing—and OMT can help them stay healthy through all stages of development. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions or recovering from injuries, OMT provides gentle, effective support. Some of the conditions that OMT can help treat in the pediatric population include:
Asthma: OMT techniques can improve respiratory function and reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks.
Digestive Issues: From constipation to reflux, OMT can help improve gut health and comfort.
Sports Injuries: OMT can aid in recovery from injuries, reduce pain, and improve flexibility and mobility.
Scoliosis: Gentle manipulation can help improve posture, reduce pain, and slow the progression of spinal curvature.
OMT for Pregnancy: A Natural Choice for Moms-to-Be

Pregnancy is a beautiful and transformative time, but it can also take a toll on the body.
OMT offers a natural, hands-on approach to support your body through the changes of pregnancy, helping to ease discomfort and promote overall wellness. Here are just a few ways OMT can benefit moms-to-be:
Relieves Back and Pelvic Pain: By addressing alignment issues, OMT can reduce pain and improve mobility.
Reduces Sciatica: Gentle techniques help relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve.
Improves Circulation: OMT promotes better blood flow, reducing swelling and
supporting overall health.
Supports Posture: As the body changes during pregnancy, OMT can help maintain proper posture and alignment.
Eases Labor and Delivery: OMT can help prepare the body for childbirth by improving pelvic alignment and reducing tension.
OMT for Adults: Beyond Pain Relief

Most people think of OMT as a treatment for chronic pain or musculoskeletal issues, but its benefits extend far beyond that. OMT addresses the whole body, helping to improve overall health and manage chronic conditions. A few examples include:
Migraines and Headaches: By releasing tension in the neck and shoulders and improving circulation, OMT can reduce the frequency and severity of migraines.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS): OMT can improve digestive function and relieve abdominal discomfort.
Respiratory Diseases: Techniques that improve rib cage mobility and lung function can help with conditions like COPD and asthma.
Arthritis: OMT can reduce joint stiffness and improve mobility, making it easier to manage arthritis symptoms.
Depression and Anxiety: By calming the nervous system, OMT can help reduce stress, anxiety, and tension.
OMT is a holistic approach that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of
chronic conditions, making it a valuable tool for overall wellness.
