OSTEOPATHIC CARE – A NATURAL AND DRUG-FREE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE APPROACH

Osteopathic manual medicine is one of the fastest-growing alternative medicine health professions. It is not just osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) that makes osteopathic medicine different; it is the osteopathic philosophy on which the whole osteopathic system of medicine is based. Chronic pain is one of the most common reasons adults seek medical care, has been linked to restrictions in mobility and daily activities, dependence on opioids, anxiety, and depression, and poor perceived health or reduced quality of life. As per the report claims, manual osteopathy should focus on treating the pattern of the musculoskeletal disease which means it is of great importance to actually understand the actual trigger which is causing pain at one particular point. If the pain is present for more than 3 months and is non-responsive to normal treatments like quick adjustments, pain medicines, or exercises alone, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM/OMT) treatments should be able to offer a solution to help reduce the pain and discomfort.
