Osteopathy recognizes the healing power of the body, and attempts to facilitate that process. The Osteopathic physician’s goal is to reduce pain and restore motion, as well as help the body heal itself. Osteopathic manipulation is a non-invasive hands-on technique used for diagnosis and prevention, as well as treatment. OMT can contribute to the healing of trauma from both physical and emotional causes1.

Dr. Steele uses Osteopathic Manipulation and Cranial Osteopathy to treat a variety of illnesses.  For further information please peruse the website.  If your questions are not addressed here, please call the office to talk to Dr. Steele at 301-565-4924 or email her at csteele@crossingshealing.com.
