Who can benefit from OMM?

OMM can help people of all ages and backgrounds. When appropriate, OMM can complement- and even replace- drugs or surgery. In this way, OMM brings an important dimension to standard medical care. The treatment can be used to ease pain, promote healing and increase overall mobility. OMM is often used to treat muscle pain, but it can also help patients with a number of other health problems such as:

• Asthma
• Sinus disorders
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Migraines
• Menstrual pain
