Osteopathic Manual Medicine

Doctors of osteopathic medicine (DO’s) bring something a little “more” to their healthcare practice: Attention to the WHOLE individual, not just their symptoms.  The approach and care is very similar to functional medicine and integrative medicine….in fact, Dr. Hobie is an integrative osteopathic doctor.

 

DO’s investigate beyond the most visible layers of system-imbalance to uncover the root-cause. Then, they help you capitalize on the body’s innate inclination to heal by manipulating the musculoskeletal system (your body's interconnected system of nerves, muscles and bones) to help the physiological communication pathways realign and balance.

 

Osteopathic medicine, which has been practiced since the 19th century, recognizes that illness or injury in one part of the body can affect other parts of the body. This is why it’s so important to look deeper than symptoms to understand what the underlying cause may be.

Is Osteopathic Medicine Right For Me?

Dr. Hobie is a board certified family physician who specializes in integrative osteopathic manual medicine. As a primary care physician, Dr. Hobie is able to use his advanced training and experience as a DO to help people at any stage in life.

 

With osteopathy’s whole-person approach to viewing pain and dis-ease, the effects of manual manipulation of the muscles and soft-tissues stretch beyond treating pain associated with the structural alignment of the body. OMM supports the effective treatment of conditions such as:

  • Fatigue (including from Fibromyalgia)
  • Respiratory issues
  • Bowel and gut issues
  • Chronic pain & inflammation
