If you're wondering if you need a referral to see an OSTCAN OMP, the answer is no, you don't need a referral to begin osteopathic treatment! That being said, if you're experiencing new or unexplained symptoms or pain, all OMPs suggest patients should consult with their family physician or medical specialist to receive a medical diagnosis.

Osteopathy can be used to manage GI distress and discomfort? OMPs use skilled manual techniques like soft tissue manipulation and visceral manipulation to improve the natural flow of gastric fluids, reduce tension and ease restrictions in the digestive system. Aside from physical discomfort, poor digestion can negatively impact our hormones, stress levels, sleep and immune system.

While the popular phrase “You are what you eat” has some truth to it, the reality is that is a little more complicated than that and OMPs are here to help. Find a practitioner near you by visiting: https://www.osteopathyontario.org/site/findapractitioner

OSTCAN OMP's are trained to fully assess the body, and treatment specifically targets what that individual's body needs at the time. No two treatments are exactly the same, because no two people's bodies or needs are the same.

While Osteopathy may seem complicated, the overarching concept is fairly straight forward: It is about aligning your structure so the body can heal itself. The cause of your misalignment isn't always so clear, and OMPs don't merely treat your symptoms. OSTCAN OMPs are trained to get to the root cause of your misalignment by understanding you as a whole, and use this information to apply safe, effective and efficient treatment.
