Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) can play a supportive role for individuals living with Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses who experience lingering pain, fatigue, stiffness, or nervous system dysregulation. Even after appropriate medical treatment, these conditions can place prolonged stress on the body, contributing to musculoskeletal strain, fascial restriction, impaired circulation, and difficulty fully recovering.

At The Essential Healing Center, we use gentle, targeted osteopathic techniques to support the body’s natural regulatory and healing processes. Care is focused on improving lymphatic and circulatory flow, reducing unnecessary tissue tension, and supporting nervous system balance. By addressing how the body has adapted to chronic stress and illness, OMT can help improve comfort, resilience, and overall function. Our approach is designed to complement—not replace—ongoing medical care, offering additional support as patients work toward recovery and improved quality of life.
