Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT)
Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a hands-on, physician-performed therapy used to diagnose and treat structural problems involving the muscles, joints, and spine. Using techniques such as soft tissue mobilization, muscle energy, myofascial release, and joint articulation, Dr. Von Bargen applies precise pressure and guided movement to improve alignment, release restriction, and restore normal function.
OMT can reduce pain, improve range of motion, and support the body's natural healing process without relying solely on medication. It is commonly used for back and neck pain, headaches, joint dysfunction, and injuries from auto accidents, work, and sports.
As a physician board certified in osteopathic manipulative medicine, Dr. Von Bargen integrates OMT with the practice's other services, including physical therapy, injections, and medical management, so each patient receives the right combination of care for their condition.
