Find out how this alternative therapy could improve the overall health and function of your body.
Ever deal with body aches and pains that make it difficult to go about your day or participate in the activities you love? If so, you may have given yourself a little time to rest or relied on pain killers to help dull the aches and discomforts; however, instead of masking symptoms as medications do, osteopathic manipulative medicine can actually target the dysfunctional problems within the body to improve its functions as a whole.
Our osteopathic physician Dr. Darin Bush offers a wide range of osteopathic practices, techniques, and modalities to restore function within the entire neuromusculoskeletal system. After all, while you may be experiencing pain or problems in one area of the body, most of the time other systems are also impacted. That’s what makes osteopathic medicine so great; it can improve the body as a whole while also targeting and treating,
- Pain and swelling
- Inflammation
- Limited range of motion and flexibility
- Difficulty with movement
- Instability and weakness
- Numbness or tingling
