St. Mary Medical Center is pleased to now offer Osteopathic
Manipulative Treatment (OMT) at St. Mary Family Medicine Bensalem, located at
3331 Street Road, Two Greenwood, Suite 140, Bensalem, Pa., 19020.
OMT
is a set of hands-on techniques used by osteopathic physicians to diagnose,
treat and prevent illness or injury. During OMT, a physician moves muscles and
joints using techniques that include stretching, gentle pressure and
resistance. The treatment can help people of all ages and backgrounds ease
pain, promote healing and increase overall mobility.
OMT
is administered at St. Mary Family Medicine Bensalem by Charmaine Chan, DO, who serves as the director
of Osteopathic Education at St. Mary Medical Center and Nazareth Hospital in
Philadelphia. Dr. Chan received her medical degree from the Philadelphia
College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed her Family Medicine residency at
St. Joseph Medical Center in Reading, Pa. She is certified by the American
Osteopathic Board of Family Medicine.
