Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment

Although Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is a required course in adjunct to standard medical school curriculum, not all Osteopathic physicians have chosen to maintain their skills in the practice of OMT. During doctorate training, Dr. Sy took additional rotations in a sub specialized field of OMT, called Cranial Sacral Manipulation. Instead of utilizing high velocity techniques, Cranial Sacral technique involves more gentle specifically guided maneuvers and the precise application of pressure, to realign and restore balance to the musculoskeletal system. Therefore, along with prescription of medication to assist with the treatment of mechanical injuries, she incorporates this form of manual medicine to her medical management of a number of pain disorders to promote a more rapid and more natural recovery.

While HMO insurance does not reimburse for OMT, Dr. Sy still incorporates short OMT sessions during her management of acute illnesses or mechanical problems for all her patients. PPO plans typically cover OMT treatments under Chiropractor benefits and specific CPT codes utilized in billing would be 98925-98929. Longer treatment sessions can be scheduled for patients with PPO insurance coverage or under cash payment arrangements. For your convenience, our staff can verify your insurance coverage for this particular medical service.

Supplements and Medical Foods

We promote products that are noticeably effective and pure. Vitamins and what supplements to take can be confusing. Nutraceuticals are considered food supplements and not medication so are not regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Thus, what is on an active ingredients label for a vitamin product can and is often very misleading. All of these companies are self-regulated and as you may have heard, a number of them have actually been sued for heavy metal or contamination(s) that have been discovered within some products.

For such reasons, we do carry and promote certain products from companies that adhere to strict and stringent purity and contamination screens and are very particular in the raw materials they choose to be contained within their supplements. So due to these companies outstanding reputation, positive patient feedback, and moderate pricing, we feel comfortable in recommending such products to our patients.
