Osteopathic Treatment is used to treat musculoskeletal conditions, nervous conditions, and more complex multi-symptom complaints. The physical care that you will receive from Dr. Williams is the biodynamic model of assessment and treatment. It is ideally suited for pregnant women, elderly, and individuals with fragile conditions. The gentleness of this modality belies the power and depth of its potential to restore health to the body.

Alternative Hands On Modalities
Osteopathic Manipulation has been compared to other helpful forms of therapy: physical therapy, craniosacral or cranial sacral therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, neuromuscular therapy etc. Some techniques are indeed similar and overlap the scope of the osteopathic specialty (i.e., strain-counterstrain technique, myofascial release, bio-feedback, reiki, trigger point nutritional counseling); however, Classical Osteopathy is practiced by a physician with a complete conventional medical education in addition to years of study beyond medical school, internship, and residency to perfect the art of skilled palpation required to holistically assess the state of health and disease within the body. Please be aware that only a physician (M.D. or D.O.) is licensed to diagnose and treat any medical condition.
