OSTEOPATHICMANIPULATIVEMEDICINE

"As the twig is bent, so grows the tree."

 

– Alexander Pope

Dr. Keaton's hands-on approach addresses disease and injury, whether acute or chronic, without surgery or traditional pharmaceutical medications. He considers wellness to be defined as the optimal balance of mind, body and spirit, and because the body's structure is reciprocally interrelated Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is an effective and safe way to set the right conditions for the body to self-regulate and self-heal.

Dr. Keaton's approach focuses on providing gentle and effective osteopathic care for newborns, infants, and children to address a wide range of health concerns and conditions, such as colic, failure to thrive or feeding complications, abdominal pain or constipation, ear or sinus infections and more.

"The responsibility of working with a living Organism is to allow it to do the work, rather than us doing something to it.


We don't do something to it. We cooperate with it, because it is already working."

Obstetric OMT

Mothers sacrifice everything to undergo the greatest endeavor this life can offer. Our bodies structure and function are inseparably connected. Whether you are preparing to have a baby, currently pregnant, approaching delivery, or dealing with pain or complications following a delivery, OMT is a safe and effective way to help optimize the mother's capacity for wellness.

​

Dr. Keaton's goal is to encourage and give hope to mothers by focusing on helping resolve or alleviate conditions and symptoms that can come from pregnancy, labor and delivery, nursing, as well as the constant stresses and sleeplessness that comes with the privilege and responsibility of having and caring for children.

"Osteopathy, to me, is a very sacred science. It is sacred, because it is the healing power through all nature."

Anna Hurm, 29 - Pregnancy Right IT Band Pain

Initially I came in for right IT band pain, it would ache at night and the tightness was affecting my sleep. I had had a previous IT band issue prior to pregnancy related to running but it seemed the weight gain was causing a flare up. Dr. Keaton worked with me on my pelvic alignment to eliminate the IT band pain. I could sleep without pain, and I was able to get much needed sleep during my third trimester as I geared up to being a new mama! He continued maintenance adjustments every month to keep everything in working order. We also reviewed simple effective movements combined with intentional breathing exercises that I could do at home to stretch and strengthen as my body continued to evolve with the growing baby. I saw him only a few days post birth and it was such a full circle moment, he was able to assess and adjust my pelvis post birth. He also gave me reassurance that my daughter’s head was okay after a long hard labor. I feel that Dr. Keaton’s good energy and manipulation worked together as an aide in bringing my daughter into this world. I am grateful for his care, and I believe it was one of the key pieces in my healthy pregnancy and transition into postpartum healing.
