The most common conditions treated by osteopaths are neck and back pain. However, osteopathy is a very effective treatment for stiffness, aches, pains and dysfunction in other parts of the body.
A doctor of osteopathy attempts to determine how disease or injury to one particular system or body part affects another. Many D.O.s use a technique called Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) in addition to traditional medicines and treatments to treat their patients.
