Osteopathic Medicine is a distinct branch of medical practice that emphasizes a whole-person approach to treatment and patient care.

Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, or DOs, are fully licensed physicians who practice in all areas of medicine. Dr. O’Neill is licensed in Family Medicine.

Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) integrates a doctor’s detailed understanding of anatomy and physiology and a highly-trained sense of diagnostic touch with gentle manual movements to realign and rebalance body structures; to include the cranial sacral system.

The body functions as an interconnected system, where restrictions in one area can create compensatory patterns elsewhere. These patterns may contribute to pain and can influence nervous, circulatory, and organ function. Dr. O’Neill evaluates and treats the body as a whole to reduce restrictions and support the body’s innate ability to heal and self-regulate.

OMT can help patients of all ages and backgrounds. Although it is often used to treat muscle pain and sports injuries, it can also help provide relief for asthma, sinus disorders, headaches & migraines, chronic pain, mood disorders and other ailments. In many cases, the treatment can be used to complement, or even replace, medications or surgery.
