✨3 Things a D.O. Sees That an M.D. Might Miss✨

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we practice medicine through an osteopathic lens. This means we look beyond symptoms to understand how your entire body works together. Here are 3 things a D.O. often catches that others may overlook:

1️⃣ How your structure affects your symptoms
Tight fascia, restricted joints, or imbalanced posture can trigger issues like headaches, digestive problems, and fatigue.

2️⃣ Nervous system dysregulation
A stressed or overwhelmed nervous system affects everything including sleep, hormones, immunity, pain, and mood.

3️⃣ Subtle patterns in how your body compensates
Your body adapts to old injuries, trauma, or chronic tension in ways that create new symptoms. A DO is trained to see these patterns and address the root cause.

This is the heart of osteopathic medicine. We treat the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.

OMT for migraines: How Gentle Touch Can Relieve Pain Without Medication

Migraines don’t just disrupt your day, they impact your entire life. At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we use Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) to help ease migraine symptoms by working with your body’s natural ability to heal.

Through gentle, hands-on techniques, OMT can:
• Reduce muscle tension
• Improve blood flow
• Calm the nervous system
• Release triggers stored in the head, neck, and shoulders

For many patients, this approach offers real relief without relying on medication, and supports long-term health rather than temporary fixes.

If you or a family member struggles with migraines, we’re here to help.

What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

It’s healthcare that puts you — not insurance companies — at the center.

DPC is simple: You pay a low monthly membership, and in return you receive:
✨Staff and Providers that KNOW you
✨ Longer, unrushed appointments
✨ Same- or next-day availability
✨ Direct messaging with your provider
✨ Discounted labs & imaging
✨ Whole-person, preventive care
✨ No co-pays. No surprise bills. No insurance hassles.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts DPC, this model allows your provider to practice real medicine:
• with presence
• with time
• with hands-on osteopathic treatment (OMT)
• and with a root-cause, whole-body approach

Instead of being one of thousands… you become one of a few hundred. Instead of feeling rushed… you feel seen, heard, and supported.

This is healthcare reimagined — simple, transparent, and truly personal.

Kid running a fever? Here’s a little peace of mind for tired parents.

It always seems to happen in the middle of the night. Your kiddo feels warm, you grab the thermometer, and suddenly you’re wide awake doing the “Is this normal?” spiral.

This time of year, between holiday excitement, extra family gatherings, and all the winter germs floating around, fevers show up more often. The reassuring part? A fever is usually your child’s immune system doing its job.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we look at the whole picture. When a fever hits, it’s not just about lowering the number—it’s about supporting their body so it can recover well.

Here are a few things that genuinely help:
💧 Hydration — water, electrolytes, even popsicles if that’s all they’ll take
😴 Rest — early bedtimes, quiet mornings, and slower days
🛏️ Comfort — light layers and breathable blankets
❄️ Gentle cooling — lukewarm washcloths or a quick sponge bath
👀 Pay attention to red flags — rash, trouble breathing, severe headache, or repeated vomiting
Parenting during the holidays is already a lot. Knowing when to watch and when to reach out can make nights like these a little less stressful.

❄️ Your Body in Winter: Why OMT Helps You Adapt to the Cold

During the winter, the body naturally tightens to keep heat in, and this can lead to decreased circulation, tightened fascia, reduced joint mobility, and the flare-up of old injuries. Osteopathic medicine focuses on restoring flow—blood flow, lymphatic flow, respiratory movement, and structural balance. OMT helps your system adapt rather than contract so you can move through winter with more comfort, mobility, and resilience.

Winter Body-Care Reminders from Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care:

✨ Keep your core warm to protect lumbar and pelvic mechanics
✨ Hydrate more than you think—cold air dehydrates fascia
✨ Use proper gait traction to prevent slips, falls, and sudden strain
✨ Consider monthly OMT tune-ups to support circulation, alignment, and immune function

3 Key Things Your Body Needs in Winter Before You Need OMT:

1️⃣ Gentle daily mobility (5–7 minutes).
Cold weather stiffens joints and fascia. Light spinal mobility, hip openers, ankle circles, and shoulder rolls help maintain fluid movement.

2️⃣ Support your lymphatic system.
Dry brushing, light rebounding, diaphragm breathing, or brisk walking help keep lymph flowing when we naturally move less in winter.

3️⃣ Replenish your minerals—especially magnesium.
Cold-induced tension, stress, and decreased sunlight can deplete minerals. Magnesium supports circulation, muscle relaxation, and nervous system balance.

Your body is designed to self-heal—osteopathy simply supports the process, especially during the colder months when the body works harder to maintain balance.

✨NEW BLOG POST✨

🌿 Children and Screen Time: Finding a Healthy Balance 🌿

Screens are part of modern life—at school, at home, and everywhere in between. Technology can support learning and creativity, but it also has real effects on a child’s posture, sleep, sensory system, and emotional regulation.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts DPC, we don’t believe in “no screens.” We believe in healthy screens—and in understanding how a child’s growing nervous system responds to digital stimulation.

✨ In our latest blog, we explore:
• Why screens affect children differently
• How posture, vision, and the nervous system play a role
• Simple habits that support healthier screen time
• When it may be time to seek osteopathic care
• How OMT can help children regulate, feel better, and thrive

If you want realistic, judgment-free guidance to help your child navigate the digital world, this post is for you.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, we honor the realities our patients face.

✨ What Is OMT? Understanding the Hands-On Healing Approach ✨

Most people have heard of chiropractic care or massage, but not everyone knows what Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) is — and that’s exactly why it’s so powerful.

OMT is a hands-on, holistic treatment used by DO-trained physicians, like Dr. Starkman to:
• Reduce pain
• Increase mobility
• Improve alignment
• Relax tight tissues
• Support the body’s natural ability to heal

Using techniques like gentle stretching, pressure, and subtle movements, we look at how your whole body works together — muscles, joints, circulation, nerves, fascia, and even your emotional stress responses.

At Osteopathic Healing Arts Direct Primary Care, OMT can complement your medical care for:
✨ Back or neck pain
✨ Headaches + migraines
✨ TMJ
✨ Pregnancy discomfort
✨ Sinus issues
✨ Pelvic alignment
✨ Chronic tension
✨ Stress-related tightness

OMT is safe, gentle, and tailored to each patient — including kids, pregnant women, and older adults.

If you’re curious about how OMT can support your wellness journey, we’d love to guide you.
