Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine

Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine (NM) is a specialized field within osteopathic medicine focused on diagnosing and treating conditions related to nerves, muscles, and bones. Practitioners, known as osteopathic physicians (DOs), use hands-on techniques like gentle adjustments, massage, and stretching to improve movement, reduce pain, and enhance overall function. They consider how the musculoskeletal system interacts with the nervous system and other body parts, aiming to restore balance and promote natural healing. NM is often used to treat chronic pain, sports injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders, emphasizing a holistic approach to health.
