- Ear InfectionsUsing OMT, the osteopathic physician is able to address the fascia, muscles, ligaments, and joints, as well as the organs directly and thus enhance the normal, healthy function of the body. Increased levels of energy, freedom from pain, improved mental clarity, enhanced feelings of well-being, and improved function of various organs are common consequences of OMT. Cranial osteopathy is especially useful in recurrent otitis media (middle ear infections) in children, perception issues (including vision), attention problems, headaches (including migraines), seizures, and sinus congestion. Birth trauma and other head injuries all deserve a thorough evaluation by a practitioner of cranial osteopathy. It is also very useful in other common problems in which other forms of manipulation are used: low back and neck pain; numbness, pain, and weakness in the extremities; sciatica; pleuritic chest pain; digestive problems; asthma; and traumatic brain injury. Chronic degenerative conditions of the nervous system (Parkinsonism, Multiple sclerosis and the effects of concussions) respond favorably to cranial manipulation.

- Multiple SclerosisJust as the discovery of the microanatomic function, the perivascular spaces in the glymphatic system, opened our Osteopathic eyes to our potential to promote fluid exchange within the brain substance to help discharge detritus and help conditions such as Alzheimer’s Disease, multiple sclerosis, and post-concussion syndrome, so, too can awareness of this perineural and vascular pathway facilitate our success of assisting the patient through increased awareness of the operation of the Breath of Life through the M-Element. Recognizing that we are the privileged attendees to healing in our patients, managing a transmutation from spirit into material electric force, brings us to the realization that we truly are working in the realm of the interface between spirit and matter. Yes, spirit matters!
