Danto Osteopathic Clinic

04/05/2023

I'm extremely proud to share a press report about the Case Report on nonsurgical spinal decompression therapy for a herniated, extruded disc that Samantha Danto, OMS-III (my daughter) presented at a the American Academy of Osteopathy Convocation 2023 in Colorado Springs, CO in March 2023. Although this is only one case, we believe it to be significant since the patient's follow up MRI was reported as completely resolved extrusion after 2-months. This is in sharp contrast to a meta-analysis we reviewed that found spontaneous resolution taking 6-9 months with only 14% being completely resolved.

In my first blog entry of 2023 I discuss HEALING in the body's framework of time.

Should I expect to feel all better after a treatment? A lot of people feel amazingly better after a treatment at our clinic. Probably over 90% of people feel significantly less pain, more calm, greater range of motion, and/or more aligned with the Universe at the end of an osteopathic treatment. How...

Dr. Danto shares a 10-minute standing Exercise Prescription routine to stretch and re-balance muscles related to lower back, hips, pelvis, and legs. This exercise routine is an intermediate level and one should listen to their bodies while trying it. If something is uncomfortable, then they should discuss it with their clinician at their next visit. These exercises are usually prescribed along with clinical examination and osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). Among the great things about this routine is that it can be done anywhere you can stand...so, there is really no excuse not to do it. Learn, Love & THRIVE!

Why should one go to the Danto Osteopathic Clinic when they don’t have a pain complaint or perceived illness?

Recently, I had a person come to the office for their first visit whose primary concern was optimal health and thriving. He had occasional mid-back discomfort… and I have to use the term “discomfort” because he stated that he had “no pain.” To READ MORE, please click the link. https://www.dantoosteopathic.com/post/thriving-healing-at-the-danto-osteopathic-clinic

I recently had an interesting experience treating a patient and I wanted to share some of the meaning behind it. Check out my brief description on our Blog.

I recently had a person (not a puppy as one might assume from the picture) come to the office for their first visit whose primary concern was optimal health and thriving. He had occasional mid-back discomfort and I have to say “discomfort” because he stated he had no pain. And, I like that he di...

Osteopaths think a lot about Health with a capital "H." Find out what that means in a blog I recently posted.

‘People come for treatment because their health pattern has become clouded over and it’s raining on them, but that doesn’t change the fact that above that cloud there is a sun still shining and health is still available. Osteopathic treatment finds the health pattern within the clouds and allo...

I know people want to be "healed" immediately with treatment and I wish that was something I provided, but healing most often takes time. In this Blog post I discuss why healing is a journey and how Danto Osteopathic works to support you on that journey.

Most often, when people arise from a treatment table in the Danto Osteopathic Clinic, they are moving with a bit more ease and less discomfort than when they entered the office. I would not be being honest with myself if I did not recognize that part of my attraction to working within my specialty i...

This picture I took of a deer while I was bicycling inspired the best explanation I've written about what I feel in an osteopathic structural exam and what I try to achieve with OMT.

Each time I am out riding my bicycle I am observant of the beauty of nature that surrounds me. Occasionally, I happen upon a chance encounter with a deer who seems cautiously startled by my appearance. Wild deer are amazing creatures that appear gentle, graceful, and harmonious with their natural su...

After 25 years of practice, I'm still needing to explain what osteopathic manipulation is and what I do when I treat people. I'm hoping this latest YouTube does a decent job of introducing it to people.
