Sitrin's now offers the services of an Osteopathic Clinic at its Medical Rehabilitation Center.
Osteopathic medicine is based on a philosophy of treating the entire person instead of individual symptoms. While their primary focus is on the musculoskeletal system, osteopathic physicians are trained to understand how the body's systems are interconnected and how one area of the body affects others. They help the body heal itself through innovative treatment techniques, and focus on preventative strategies and healthy lifestyle choices.
Doctors of osteopathy are fully trained and licensed physicians, able to prescribe medication and perform surgery. They are trained to approach patient care as generalists first and specialists second, and the majority work as family-oriented primary care physicians.
Sitrin's doctor of osteopathy is Dr. Richard Chmieleski, DO, FACEP.
Conditions treated at Sitrin's Osteopathic Clinic include:
One of the therapies offered at Sitrin, osteopathic manipulative treatment uses the hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. Using OMT, osteopathic physicians move your muscles and joints through stretching, gentle pressure, and resistance.
Sitrin's osteopathic clinic accepts Medicare and Medicaid, as well as Fidelis.
The clinic is open Tuesday afternoons from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. Please call 797-8000 for a referral.
