D.O.s & OMT: Omt is literally a hands on approach to patient care. It is the art of healing touch applied to diagnosis & treatment of musculoskeletal problems and can help treat many other issues such as asthma, migraines, sinusitis, menstrual pain, and can complement & sometimes replace need for drugs & surgery. It involves both subtle soft tissue techniques & also manual movement of muscles & joints.

Unfortunately...: There is no strong scientific proof that this therapy helps all of the many things that are claimed to be improved, some help, yes, often no. And remember that there is absolutely no evidence as to the safety and efficacy of these therapies for our children!
