Restore Your Health Through Osteopathic Care

Living with chronic pain, restricted mobility, or musculoskeletal discomfort can significantly affect your quality of life. At our New York City practice, Dr. Leonid Tafler offers comprehensive osteopathic care tailored to your unique condition and lifestyle. Whether you're recovering from an injury or managing a long-term disorder, osteopathic treatment can help restore function, alleviate pain, and enhance your body’s natural ability to heal.

Osteopathy emphasizes a holistic, hands-on approach to healthcare. By using precise manual manipulation techniques, osteopathic physicians can identify, treat, and prevent a wide range of conditions affecting the muscles, joints, nerves, and other connective tissues.

What Is Osteopathic Treatment?

Osteopathic medicine focuses on the relationship between the body’s structure and function. It views the body as an interconnected system, and rather than simply treating symptoms, it seeks to address the root cause of discomfort.

Doctor designs individualized treatment plans that may include:

• Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT): Gentle, hands-on techniques to stretch and realign the body, relieve joint restriction, and improve mobility.
• Cranial Osteopathy: Subtle manipulations of the head and spine to promote relaxation, relieve headaches, and support nervous system function.
• Medical Acupuncture: To release muscle tension and restore energetic balance.
• Stretching and Strengthening Exercises: Designed to support posture, flexibility, and long-term recovery.
• Lifestyle Recommendations: Including posture correction, ergonomics, and stress reduction techniques.

What Conditions Can Osteopathy Help With?

Osteopathic care is often used to treat:

• Back and neck pain
• Joint stiffness and arthritis
• Migraines and tension headaches
• Sciatica and nerve compression
• Postural problems
• Repetitive strain injuries (RSI)
• Sports injuries and performance recovery
• TMJ (jaw) dysfunction
• Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue
• Pregnancy-related discomfort

Whether your symptoms stem from physical trauma, poor posture, chronic illness, or stress, osteopathy offers a non-invasive, drug-free pathway to better health.

Why Choose Osteopathic Treatment?

Osteopathy complements conventional medical care and can serve as a stand-alone or integrative therapy. Dr. Tafler’s patient-centered approach ensures that you receive the most appropriate combination of treatments based on your symptoms, goals, and overall health profile.
