Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine (OMM) emphasizes health and preventive medicine, with a focus on the musculoskeletal system. Trained in Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), our physicians are able to use their hands to move a patient's muscles and joints through stretching, gentle pressure and resistance. By adjusting the surrounding musculoskeletal structures, we can restore normal pressure to the affected nerve, muscle or joint, which assists in healing, preventing illness and/or eliminating pain.

We offer acute and sub-acute rehabilitation services to patients who have suffered a stroke, spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy or Multiple Sclerosis. Our services include the latest treatments for spasticity, such as nerve blocks, and the evaluation and provision of amputees with prosthetics and orthotics.

Through Lifestyle Medicine, we utilize therapeutic lifestyle interventions to encourage and promote a healthy lifestyle. Some of the areas we can target include:

• Whole food plant-predominant eating 
• Maintaining adequate and restful sleep
• Community support and engagement 
• Exercise amd purposeful physical activity 
• Avoidance of risky substances 
• Stress reduction 

NMI hosts many clinical research projects that study pain, effects of stroke, fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis, osteopathic manipulative medicine and music medicine. You can find out more by visiting our Research page.
