Osteopathic Neuromuscular Manipulation Doctor Near Pebble Creek, FL

This particular kind of professional is a doctor of osteopathic medicine. With this kind of medicine, the total person is tended to and the interrelationship of the body’s various systems is considered.

Osteopathic medicine is the fastest growing field of medicine in the U.S. The biggest difference between a DO and an MD is that the DO receives training in osteopathic diagnosis and manipulative treatment in addition to training in conventional medicine. This means the DO has additional ways of treating patients for various health issues.

Also known as OMT, osteopathic manipulation is an approach to healthcare that’s designed to achieve and maintain patients’ health by restoring normal, natural function to the body. Osteopathic manipulation is the therapeutic application of manual pressure to treat musculoskeletal disorders like:

– Low back pain or neck pain, including some chronic pain
– Many sports injuries or repetitive stress injuries, like carpal tunnel syndrome
– Some kinds of headaches, like migraines

If you’ve been suffering from one of those issues or a similar issue, then you could benefit greatly from osteopathic neuromuscular manipulation and the techniques involved in it.

There are several different techniques in OMT, such as the:

– Soft tissue technique – The application of pressure to the muscle area around the spine; the technique consists of deep pressure, rhythmic stretching, and traction

– Muscle energy technique – The patient uses their muscles from a precise position and in a specific direction against a counterforce the DO applies

– Thrust technique – High velocity forces help restore motion to a joint which can reduce or eliminate the signs of asymmetry, tissue changes, restricted movement, or tenderness

– Counterstrain technique – For an acute injury; the patient is moved away from a position where their motion is restricted to a different position of greater comfort

At RejuvaMed, these techniques are performed by our fully capable DO, Dr. Kenneth Andronico. The doctor would be very happy to speak with you more about your health and the services he can provide. You can reach out to us at RejuvaMed for a simple consultation with the doctor.
