WHY DOES OSTEOPATHY WORK?

Osteopathy = Hands On Medicine

Osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM), where both diagnosis and treatment are carried out with the hands, is relaxing and offers many health benefits. Lymph movement is facilitated which is vital to health. Where lymph is not moving you will likely experience pain, tenderness, and inflammation. Osteopathy helps encourage this process. Shock, trauma, injury, or the many mental and physical stresses of living in this busy world can cause a variety of negative symptoms in the body-mind.  Helping release, relax and encourage healing of these tensions is crucial. 


Better Breathing = Better Physiology

 Osteopathy, supplemented by Dr. Teves' simple, gentle Polydiaphragmatic Breathing method, you will feel increased vitality and wholeness.  Many patients who practice their breathing experience improvements in their general sense of ease, a decrease of inflammatory pain, and relief from other symptoms, simply by breathing more effectively and consciously. You'll be amazed how quickly breathing better 

can make such a difference



How We Work with Insurance and Medicare

We are a small practice serving patients offering effective, caring, hands-on medicine. 

Dr. Teves is an out of network non-participating provider which means you may wish to check with your insurance provider prior to seeing us to verify coverage. Please reach out and we'll provide OMT codes to give to your insurance company. We're able to file claims for Supplemental Medicare patients, and we're here to help answer all your questions re: Insurance. 

Serving Ithaca and Vestal, New York

Appointments available in Ithaca Wednesday and Thursdays, and in our new offices at Wellness Centered in Vestal on Mondays.
