Welcome to Osteopathy and Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine

 1.  The body is a unit; the person is a unit of body, mind, and spirit.

  This means two things: everything in one's body is connected to everything else in the body; and every person is comprised of body, mind and spirit. As osteopathic physicians we are trained to look at the whole picture: body, mind and spirit. 

The remaining foundational beliefs of osteopathic medicine are:

• The body is capable of self-regulation, self-healing, and health maintenance.
• Structure and function are reciprocally interrelated.
• Rational treatment is based upon an understanding of the basic principles of body unity, self-regulation, and the interrelationship of structure and function.

My job as your physician is to gently assist you in regaining your body's full ability to heal itself.
