Student Clinic & Internship

What to Expect on Your First Visit to the Student Clinic

Types of Manual Osteopathic Care

• Acute pain relief is provided for relief of immediate pain, restricted mobility, and discomfort. Depending on the manual osteopathic assessment, your age, physical condition, how long you have had the current complaint, and previous injuries, a few or several visits over a relatively short period of time, may be necessary.
• Corrective manual osteopathic care treats conditions that are more severe, recurring or have existed with or without pain for some time. These may require a longer, more complex period of care. Once the severity of your condition has decreased through relief care, corrective care helps to restore normal function to your spine, muscles, supporting tissues, and the nerves affected by them.
• Supportive manual osteopathic care helps you maintain and preserve the benefits you’ve achieved from relief and corrective care. Osteopathic manual practitioners are trained to detect conditions in their early stages, often before you feel pain or reduced mobility. Continuing to work with your intern and having periodic spinal check-ups and treatments, if needed, will keep your spine and you as healthy as possible. Your intern will work with you to find a maintenance schedule that suits your condition, health care goals, and lifestyle.
