We are the first and only Osteopractic Physical Therapy practice in Edmonds, WA.
The term Osteopractor literally translates to “bone practitioner”, and Osteopractors are highly trained in diagnosing and treating most neuromuscular & musculoskeletal disorders such as balance disorders, back pain, neck pain, and headache among others.
The diploma is given only to PT’s, MD’s, or DO’s who have completed a rigorous, evidenced-based series of courses.
Mobilization of the spine and/or extremities, Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM), and Dry Needling (DN) therapy are proven techniques in facilitating tissue healing, reducing joint dysfunction and minimizing pain. When combined with an effective therapeutic exercise regimen, these treatment interventions are powerful tools in eliminating functional impairments and reducing disability.
An Osteopractor is very distinct from, and should not be confused with, a chiropractor or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO), as neither of these are Physical Therapists. The Osteopractor credential distinguishes those physical therapists, MD’s, or DO’s that have achieved a level of highly skilled, hands-on manual therapy techniques post-graduate through the American Academy of Manipulative Therapy.
*Intramuscular or dry needling is not yet allowed in Washington state.
