Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine Doctors in Pittsburgh

Osteopathic medicine is an approach to healthcare that treats a person as a whole – that means preventing illness before it happens, addressing mental health as well as physical health, and generally focusing on the patient as an entire person rather than a series of body parts.

At Pittsburgh Health Partners, our team of highly-trained osteopathic physicians is proud to offer hands-on care for patients across the Pittsburgh area. Using musculoskeletal manipulation techniques, we use osteopathic manipulative treatment to help you improve your body’s function and find relief from chronic pain. You’ll spend as much one-on-one time with your doctor as you need to be truly cared for, and we can even treat you or your loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility if necessary.

Patient-Focused Osteopathic Care

Doctors of osteopathic medicine actually have an entirely specific training program, degree, and title that qualifies them: DO, or Doctor of Osteopathy. At Pittsburgh Health Partners, our Doctors of Osteopathy have the experience and education to perform osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), which is a discipline that applies gentle, targeted pressure to the body in order to correct mechanical issues in the musculoskeletal system, relieve pain, improve circulation, and more.

However, osteopathy isn’t just about orthopedic or musculoskeletal medicine. It’s about treating the patient as a whole, taking into account the entire body and the various interwoven systems that allow you to function. Osteopathic medicine can help diagnose and prevent disease, as well as encouraging proper healing by keeping your body’s structures in appropriate alignment.
