Osteopathic Treatment Services We Offer

Our office offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment of individuals with musculoskeletal problems. We put emphasis on the entire spine. Problems involving peripheral joints such as the shoulder and hips are evaluated and treated as well. Chronic headache and nerve pain benefit from our approach.

We use osteopathic manipulation, a home exercise program and correction of faulty posture and ergonomics to achieve these goals. Proliferative injections and laser light therapy are some of the other therapeutic tools used. We incorporate referral to outside services when needed (epidural injection, acupuncture, Feldenkrais etc.).

Over the last several years we have incorporated visceral manipulation into our treatment program with amazing success.

Visceral manipulation offers a comprehensive way to accurately diagnose and treat both acute and long standing, complex problems.

Developed by a French Osteopath, Jean Pierre Barral, the techniques focus on finding imbalance in the body caused by inflammation, trauma, surgery, radiation or structural abnormalities (scoliosis). These frequently present as musculoskeletal symptoms, are often chronic and usually poorly understood. These individuals have often had years of musculoskeletal and nervous system symptoms, multiple consultations with specialists, imaging tests and treatment, all without successful resolution.

I have been seeing Dr. Robert Minkowsky for over 3 years for a complex lumbar spine issue. He is extremely knowledgeable with all facets of the back and approaches everything with his vast experience and whole body approach. His compassion, professionalism and sense of humor bring a smile to my face every time. More importantly, I leave his office feeling better than when I arrived. – Traci via Google Maps
