Mahaska Health is pleased to announce that Family Medicine Physicians Eric Miller, DO, FAAFP, and Sean M Crawford, DO are now offering Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) treatments, providing patients with a natural approach to wellness and pain relief.

Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) is a system of care practiced by osteopathic physicians that diagnoses and treats patients with a holistic view of the body. Using OMM to support the body’s natural healing processes physicians apply gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance techniques to improve mobility, and relieve pain.

Customizing their care to each patient’s needs, they use Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine to treat conditions like back and neck pain, headaches and migraines, sports injuries, repetitive stress injuries, and digestive issues.

Some of the benefits from OMM are a non-invasive and drug-free treatment, it reduces pain and improves function, enhances the body’s natural healing process, addresses the root causes of discomfort, and complements other medical treatments. At Mahaska Health, Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine is tailored to each patient’s unique needs, making a comfortable and effective treatment experience.
