Symptoms often arise from dysfunction elsewhere in the body. Osteopathic Manual Practitioners identify and address these underlying issues, sometimes treating areas distant from the pain site. This holistic approach facilitates natural healing and correction. Patients typically experience relief from acute and chronic pain, inflammation, stiffness, and postural imbalances, as well as improved mobility, healing time, immunity, sleep, anxiety, and overall vitality. Gentle in nature, osteopathic treatment is suitable for all ages and can address various musculoskeletal conditions, including cranial-sacral and visceral connections, enhancing immunity and lymphatic flow.

Q: I had cataract surgery a couple years ago and it was great at first but now my distance vision is blurry. I thought I’d have perfect vision for the rest of my life, what’s up with that? A: Having some changes in vision after cataract surgery is surprisingly common. Getting an eye exam will ascertain if your lens implants are still clear, or if you’ve had some changes in perception or the focus of your eyes, or if you’ve developed some other kind of problem with the health of your eyes.

Vitamin D plays a vital role in dental health by supporting calcium absorption, which is essential for strong teeth and bones. It helps in the mineralization of the tooth enamel, protecting teeth from decay and cavities. Adequate vitamin D levels can also prevent gum diseases like periodontitis, as it promotes a healthy immune response that reduces inflammation in the gums. A deficiency in vitamin D can lead to weaker teeth, making them more susceptible to fractures and infections. Therefore, maintaining optimal levels of vitamin D is crucial for overall oral health and preventing dental problems.
