Osteopathic Manual Medicine
(OMM)
Osteopathic Manual Manipulation (OMM) is a hands-on approach used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose, treat, and prevent musculoskeletal conditions. When combined with regenerative medicine procedures, OMM can enhance the effectiveness and outcomes of these treatments.
OMM involves the skilled manipulation of muscles, joints, and tissues to improve their function and promote healing. By applying specific techniques, such as gentle pressure, stretching, and resistance, an osteopathic physician can help restore proper alignment, mobility, and balance within the body. When used alongside regenerative medicine procedures, OMM can have several benefits.
Firstly, OMM can optimize the conditions for regenerative therapies by ensuring that the surrounding tissues and joints are in the best possible state for healing. By improving blood circulation, reducing muscle tension, and aligning the affected area, OMM can enhance the delivery and distribution of regenerative cells or substances to the targeted site.
Secondly, OMM can help address any existing structural imbalances or dysfunctions that may contribute to joint pain. By restoring proper alignment and mobility, OMM can alleviate mechanical stress on the joints, allowing regenerative therapies to work more effectively.
Lastly, OMM can support the healing process following regenerative medicine procedures. By promoting lymphatic drainage, reducing swelling, and enhancing tissue flexibility, OMM can help optimize the regenerative response and facilitate a quicker recovery.
It's important to note that the specific application of OMM in combination with regenerative medicine procedures may vary depending on the individual patient and their unique condition. Consulting with an osteopathic physician who is experienced in regenerative medicine can help determine the most appropriate and effective treatment plan for your joint pain.
