Currently available analgesic treatments frequently fail. Pain often results in disability and, even when not disabling, it has a profound effect on the quality of life.
If initial pain from an injury is not adequately treated, those pain signals are sent repeatedly - which leads to changes in the central nervous system, making it more and more sensitive. Over time, even the gentlest touch can become very painful.
Living with chronic pain is hard, and depression, anxiety, stress, and anger can make pain worse. These negative emotions reduce the body's natural painkillers and increase the body's sensitivity to pain.
When chronic pain sets in, your life shrinks to fit your pain. You're less active, don't exercise. This perpetuates the pain cycle, because it makes the perception of pain worse.
We now have a whole new host of medications that are very effective for chronic pain relief. We now use innovative drugs, combined with Osteopathic Manipulative Posture Alignment Treatment (OMPAT) to relieve pain.
Osteopathic Manipulative Pain Treatment (OMPT), is a core set of techniques that treat chronic pain by manipulating a person's body and muscles
Through a skillful and dexterous use of body manipulation by twisting your body, stretching your muscles and / or elecrically stimulating them, releif is provided from chronic back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and body pain.
The treatment is an out patient procedure and requires a few sittings.
Your body is similar to your car. It has a lot of moving parts, and all of those parts are working together.
Your body works as a unit: your foot bone is connected to your leg bone, which is connected to your spine, which is connected to your shoulder, which is connected to your neck.
To correct pain in one part of the body, the whole body has to be manipulated.
