Osteopathic manipulation is a full-body system of hands-on techniques to alleviate pain, restore function, and promote health and well-being.
Dr. Tina Blachut specializes in Osteopathic Manipulation. Attention is given to the total patient and not just to the manifested effect. During the exam, Dr. Blachut will search for the fundamental cause while also alleviating the local, presenting complaint. She will endeavor to correct the causes thus producing a more enduring and complete change within the body which will permit a reversal of those adaptive changes and restoration of health.
