Osteopathic Neuromuscular Manipulation
As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Andronico provides patients with a full spectrum of quality medical care. Rather than treating obvious symptoms of disease, Dr. Andronico takes a "whole person" integrative approach to health care, looking at underlying causes of conditions such as dry eye, chronic stress, chronic fatigue, and more. Osteopathic Medicine operates from the belief that the body has the innate ability to heal itself and to make adjustments in which health and vitality can be sustained.
The benefit of choosing an Osteopathic physician is that you gain a healthcare partner that will collaborate with you about healthy lifestyle choices and supplementation as needed to achieve the desired outcome. With extensive training as an optometrist, ophthalmologist, osteopath, and anti-aging physician, Dr. Andronico offers innovative solutions and intensely focused care.
Osteopathic Neuromuscular Manipulation
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine perform preventative and restorative medical care and manipulative treatments. The osteopathic structural diagnosis involves an expanded observation of the neuromuscular skeletal system that includes a palpatory examination. Using his hands, Dr. Andronico can identify areas of tension in the body that may be impeding optimal functionality.
When appropriate, manipulation is conducted to restore lymphatic, venous, and arterial circulation, to increase mobility and flexibility, and to recreate proper balance between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.
Manipulation performed by Dr. Andronico can improve joint mobility in a gentle, precise manner. Identifying areas of concern, light pressure may be applied in a specific direction. The result of applied pressure through one of various techniques optimizes tissue functionality and can release irritated nerves. Some techniques will be performed directly in the area of concern, while others may be applied to a nearby area to facilitate healing.
Improving health naturally requires ongoing care through which progress is monitored. Complementary to osteopathic neuromuscular manipulation treatment, Dr. Andronico may also recommend supplementation with vital nutrients depending on the condition being treated.
