At Pulmonary & Medical Associates, we offer Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) as part of our patient-centered, holistic approach to care. Our board-certified osteopathic physicians use OMT to diagnose, treat, and prevent a wide range of conditions by improving the body’s alignment, mobility, and function.
What Is OMT?
OMT is a hands-on technique that involves gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance applied to muscles and joints. These methods help reduce pain, restore mobility, enhance circulation, and support the body’s natural ability to heal. OMT can be used alone or alongside other treatments like medication or physical therapy.
Conditions Treated with OMT
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment is effective for many conditions, including:
- Back and neck pain
- Joint stiffness
- Headaches and migraines
- Asthma and respiratory issues
- Muscle tension and spasms
- Pregnancy-related discomfort
- Sports injuries
- Postural imbalances
OMT also promotes overall physical health by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and restoring structural balance.
What to Expect During an OMT Session
During your visit, your physician will perform a full evaluation and develop a personalized treatment plan. Treatment includes techniques like joint mobilization, stretching, and myofascial release. Sessions are non-invasive and typically well-tolerated, with many patients reporting pain relief and improved mobility after just one visit.

Our osteopathic physicians bring years of experience and advanced training in OMT. We focus on the whole person, considering your lifestyle, habits, and overall health to create effective, lasting treatment plans. Our goal is to relieve pain, restore movement, and improve your quality of life.
